@rbynaker 👍wow...thanks a million for that information about the minimum fees that others charge... I'll know what to say the next time some idiot complains about my fees, which are reasonable, but may be going up...

That's going to depend heavily on your geography.  To be fair the "$700 minimum" firm where I used to work did mostly complex returns and there were at least 6 different pairs of hands/eyes that looked at every return before the client signed (this was before efile).  Preparer, reviewer, admin, admin review, final review, partner review.  It just doesn't make sense for that level of QC to be applied to a return with one W2 so I understand why they price people out that don't meet their profit standards.
