For those I charge (most of them) I charge an hourly rate and explain to the client that I do not know how long it will take. Clients usually set a maximum amount of time they wish me to spend before updating them, so they can decide how much more to spend with me.
Thanks!
So, for regular rate, do you charge the same rate as the tax preparation rate or a rate lower than that?
My understanding is that part of the IRS notice resolution involves such things as document collections, etc the administrative work and part of it involves drafting response letters, etc. which is more premium.
So, I am currently inclined to charge a rate much lower than the tax preparation rate, such as $75/hour, etc.
Am I fair to myself?
