Tax Preparation Quotes and Services

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am a Canadian citizen livign and working in the US and am interested in using your tax preparation and tax advice services. I would like to get a quote from you on how much a tax consultation and tax preparation would cost for next year. Here are the highlights of my status:

1. Married, but wife is not working
2. Living in California
3. Moved to the US 2 year ago. Taxes for past 2 years were prepared by a firm specializing in US/Canada tax.

I am also interested in getting advice on purchasing a house in Toronto Canada and the tax/finanicial implications of doing so. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the quote for the tax preparation and for getting advice on the real estate (separately).

Thank you in advance.

I usually quote between $800 and $2,800 for US / Canada Tax Preparation.

I charge $400.00 Cdn per hour plus 6% GST if the client is in Canada and the work is staying in Canada and/or returning to Canada.

The following is a price guideline which is posted on the web site which i send out when requested.

Note that phone consultations tend to be $400 and would likely, usually cover your real estate question.  If you have paid for a consultation and phone back with a 5 minute follow up a couple of times, I do not usually charge for that 5 minute follow up.
