Free if you have no other exemptions to file.

1099? Nope Depreciation? Nope Tax credits? Nope

Makes for a great headline though.

Im sure those of us that do have exemptions other than the standard will see our tax prep fees skyrocket

Maybe not. You will have the same number of tax preparers chasing less work. Through the magic of the Free Market™️, shouldn’t that mean pressure to reduce prices? We can only hope.

I already saw it reflected this year. My tax prep went up $150
