Tax Preparation Tea

If you pay your tax preparer out of your refund make sure you get an itemized invoice before you sign any documents, especially the 8879. If your preparer refuses to give you an itemized invoice that’s a Red Flag 🚩

Do not say no one told y’all.

And another thing...
YES A TAX RETURN CAN LEGALLY COST $1,000+

NO THAT DOES NOT MAKE IT A SCAM

Before you get loud and wrong, let’s be clear 🗣️

The IRS does NOT cap tax preparation fees
❌ There is no law saying a return must cost $200, $300, or what someone else paid last year.

Tax preparation fees are based on:
📌 Complexity of the return
⏱️ Time required
🎓 Experience & expertise
🏢 Business / self-employment filings
💳 Credits claimed
📋 Compliance & due diligence
🔍 Audit exposure
🛡️ Legal liabilities

The same people questioning professional fees
are often the first ones panicking when:
🚩 The IRS audits the return
⏸️ Refunds are frozen or delayed
↩️ Credits are reversed
💸 Or thousands are owed back

💬 Low-cost preparation often leads to high-cost problems! Due diligence is often sacrificed!

📌 You’re not paying for a number on a screen
You’re paying for:
✅ Accuracy
📑 Documentation
📏 Compliance
🧠 Experience
👩🏾‍🏫 Education & Knowledge
📬 And a preparer who stands behind the work when the IRS letters show up

💎 All returns are NOT the same
💎 All preparers are NOT equal
💎 And all money is NOT good money
