Pricing shown is a starting point for a simple, single-state return with minimal cleanup — confirmed before I take on your return, never after. Returns needing bookkeeping cleanup are quoted separately once I've seen the records.

Why a student preparer

We are all BBA Accounting students at Dallas Baptist University's Carter School of Business, on track for CPA licensure in Texas. That means your return gets someone currently being tested on this material — closely, and without the overhead of an office.

What We take on

In scope

  • W-2 income, single or multiple employers

  • 1099-NEC / 1099-K contract and gig income
  • Single-state returns
  • Second state, only if it has no income tax

Your documents, encrypted, never retained

Intake produces an encrypted file of your tax information for my use in preparing your return. Data is only stored for 3 years per the IRS standard — the process is built to forget, on purpose.
