While I helped him with the working of the form. I didn't answer about the price because I am in New York City and everything costs more.  Plus, everyone's experience level is different.  As far as H&R block, I agree.  There are times when a new client tells me how much H& R charged and I am surprised it was that high.  I do have about 15 clients that live overseas so yes it is easier for me now.  But I remember the first one I did, maybe 10-12 years ago and I had no clue what I was doing, it was complicated.
