Clients often inquire about the service fees for these forms.

What is the typical fee charged by a small CPA firm for preparing

Form 3115 (Application for Change in Accounting Method)

It can depend on the details.

You didn't say what Form 3115 was being used for, and how many items it affects.

It can be a big difference between filing Form 8824 in a one-property to one-property situation versus a 23-property to 16-property situation.

And of course locality/area, your clientele and your experience all can factor into the fee.
