How pricing works
One flat price per tax year, current or missed, with no subscription and nothing to pay until your forms are ready. Add a reasonable cause statement and it covers every late year in the job, charged once rather than once per year.
The statement requests penalty relief and carries the declaration under penalties of perjury the IRS requires. The IRS decides whether relief is granted, and no preparer can guarantee that outcome. IRS fax transmission is an optional add-on if you would rather not print anything.
Far less than a CPA charges for the same filing. See the prices or compare the three options.
Built for the complicated cases many low-cost filing tools simplify or exclude
Multiple related parties, multiple missed years, fiscal and final-year returns, and one CPA-authored reasonable cause letter covering all of it.
