  To anyone that pays less than $200... do you go to an accountant doing work on the side? 
  An actual firm?
  A friend giving you a discounted rate?
 
 
  And... do accountants charge you more if you own a house or not?  Or if you decide to file separately instead of joint? 
 
  I go to HR Block, and we don't own a home.

 Re: How much do you pay to have your taxes done? 
I used to pay with a couple of bottles of wine, a family friend used to do them.  But this year we have to go to someone new - so I have no idea

 Re: How much do you pay to have your taxes done? 
The accountants I work for seem to charge anywhere from $30 (for like, a clients child) to upwards of $400.  But it depends a lot upon what type of paperwork they need to file.  I believe that is generally how it is calculated (how many schedules, etc.)

 Re: How much do you pay to have your taxes done? 
We got to a friend and it is less than $200 for sure, but I know he charges different people differently.  He did our taxes last year both as filing jointly and filing seperately and filed the way it worked out better for us.  
  I used to do my own, but DH has to itemize and to us it is worth paying so we don't miss anything, and I don't have to spend all that time researching how to do it correctly.

We pay $100 and holy cow, I was just complaining this year that his fee keeps going up.  Guess it's not as high as I thought it was.

Our Acct usually charges $250 but gave us a discount because he's known DH for awhile and charged us $150.
