National Society of Accountants Income and Fees Survey reports  on fees to prepare a range of tax returns
 
Taxpayers looking to hire a professional to complete their 2014 tax return can expect to pay an average of $261 for an itemized Form 1040 with Schedule A and a state tax return, according to the National Society of Accountants (NSA). 

Fee information was collected in a survey of tax preparers conducted by NSA. The tax and accounting firms surveyed are largely owners, principals, and partners of local “Main Street” companies who have an average of more than 26 years of experience. Read the survey highlights here.
