Client Onboarding & Work Commencement Policy
All new clients are subject to a non-refundable Onboarding/Technology fee, which is fully earned upon payment and covers client setup, administrative processing, secure workflow activation, and initial review.
A preparation deposit may also be required for certain services. All required fees must be paid in advance.
Work does not begin until required fees are received and a written engagement confirmation has been issued.
Transparent Pricing for Peace of Mind
At Prestige Tax Group, our pricing is clear and based on the complexity of the work required — not hourly billing or per-form charges. All new clients are subject to a non-refundable Onboarding/Technology fee, which is fully earned upon payment and covers client setup, administrative processing, secure workflow activation, and the initial review of your information.
For certain services, a preparation deposit may also be required and will be applied toward your final fee. All required fees must be paid in advance, and work does not begin until payment is received and a written engagement confirmation has been issued. After your documents are reviewed, you will receive a firm, upfront quote so you always know the total cost before preparation begins.
Most individual tax returns fall into a clear, flat-fee range based on complexity.
Simple W-2 returns start at a lower tier, while self-employed and business returns are priced based on the level of review and preparation required.
