Some are human, and others are virtual (i.e. accounting software). Here are a few examples of a tax preparer:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>An accountant&nbsp;<\/li><li>Tax prep service company, like H&amp;R Block.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Tax preparation software like TaxAct<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-much-should-i-pay-for-someone-to-prepare-my-taxes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_should_I_pay_for_someone_to_prepare_my_taxes\"><\/span>How much should I pay for someone to prepare my taxes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost to prepare a small business or self-employed individuals&#8217; taxes can vary greatly depending on the complexity and each unique situation. However, there are some averages.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The average cost of tax preparation in 2015 was $273 <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cpapracticeadvisor.com\/news\/12065684\/average-income-tax-preparation-fees-increased-in-2015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to a survey<\/a> by the National Association of Accountants. This was a 4.6 percent increase from 2014, the previous year. This is likely the price of hiring a person to prepare taxes for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>$273 might be a lot for some people. In that case, there are great online tax preparation software options that are a fraction of the cost, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>TaxAct<\/li><li>TurboTax<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you might be able to use your financial accounting software, such as QuickBooks or Xero Accounting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-are-the-benefits-of-paying-someone-to-prepare-your-taxes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_the_benefits_of_paying_someone_to_prepare_your_taxes\"><\/span>What are the benefits of paying someone to prepare your taxes?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"expertise\">Expertise<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Proper tax preparers typically have specialized training in doing taxes. They often have licenses and certifications. This means that your taxes will be prepared by someone that likely knows more about how to properly prepare a tax return than you do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some freelancers and independent contractors, their taxes are complicated. In this case, the expertise of a tax preparer comes in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For other freelancers and self-employed, their tax preparation requirements are straightforward. In this case, resources such as Falcon Expenses Blog can be a great place to get started doing your taxes yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"your-time-is-valuable\">Your Time is Valuable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many gig workers and freelancers charge a high hourly rate for their services. In this case, it might cost you less to outsource your tax preparation work if the value of your time is worth more than the cost of the service.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, let\u2019s say you normally bill your clients $100 per hour and the cost of a local tax preparer where you live is $50 an hour. Also, let\u2019s say it takes two hours of your time to prepare your taxes. This means that your time is worth $100 more than the tax preparers. Therefore, you save $100 by outsourcing your tax preparation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"let-s-look-at-the-math\"><strong>Let\u2019s do the math<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of your time to do your taxes yourself:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">$100 x 2 hours = $200 to prepare your taxes yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of a tax preparers time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-vivid-red-color has-text-color\">$50 x 2 hours = $100 to outsource your tax preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This doesn\u2019t even take into consideration the opportunity cost of your time lost by doing it yourself even in the case it costs less.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"who-can-deduct-tax-preparation-fees\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Who_can_deduct_tax_preparation_fees\"><\/span>Who can deduct tax preparation fees?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sole proprietor or independent contractor who files a <a href=\"https:\/\/falconexpenses.com\/blog\/what-is-an-irs-schedule-c-form\/\">Schedule C<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A farmer who files a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/f1040sf.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule F<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A landlord that earns income from rental properties who files a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/pub\/irs-pdf\/f1040se.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Schedule E<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An individual that earns income from royalties files a Schedule E.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"if-i-m-an-employee-can-i-deduct-my-tax-preparation-fees\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"If_Im_an_employee_can_I_deduct_my_tax_preparation_fees\"><\/span>If I\u2019m an employee can I deduct my tax preparation fees?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Employees can\u2019t deduct their tax preparation fees.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do I know if I\u2019m an employee or an independent contractor?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out this article to learn how to classify your employment: <a href=\"https:\/\/falconexpenses.com\/blog\/independent-contractor-vs-employee\/\">Self Employed vs Employee<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2017 Jobs Cut Note<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act that passed in 2017 resulted in most itemized tax breaks being eliminated.

This is because you have to wait until the year 2020 is over to know your total income for 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, on your 2021 tax return, you deduct the fees you paid to prepare your 2020 taxes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the big question is, how do you write off your tax preparation fees?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cost of your tax preparation fees is deducted like a business expense deduction.
