How We Compare
Most Tax Prep Services Don't Show You the Real Price
They advertise low starting prices, then charge per form, per schedule, per state — and you don't see the total until you're locked in. We quote one flat price upfront.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes — 100%. You complete your intake, upload documents, review your return, and e-sign everything through our secure online portal. There are no office visits, drop-offs, or in-person appointments. If you need to speak with your CPA, we offer scheduled video or phone calls.
Most “full-service” tax software advertises a low base price, then charges extra for each W-2, each 1099, state filing, and additional schedules. By the time you're done, a typical filer pays $200–$400+ — and the work is often done by seasonal staff, not a CPA. With Angelus Tax, $350 is the total price. A licensed CPA handles everything, and there are zero add-on fees.
Walk-in tax offices advertise starting at $89, but most clients end up paying $215–$400+ once add-ons kick in. The staff are typically seasonal hires, not licensed CPAs. And you have to take time out of your day to visit in person. With Angelus Tax, a licensed CPA prepares your return online for a flat $350 — no surprises, no office visits, no upsells at the counter.
Our short intake questionnaire will ask about your income types, deductions, and financial situation. Based on your answers, we'll recommend the right tier before any work begins. If your situation turns out to be more complex than expected, we'll discuss options before proceeding — no surprises.
Absolutely. All documents are transmitted via bank-level 256-bit SSL encryption. We use a secure client portal for all uploads and communications. Your data is never shared with third parties and is stored in compliance with IRS security standards.
Every client has access to secure messaging through our portal. For Standard and Custom tier clients, we also offer scheduled video consultations. Express tier clients can communicate via the portal's messaging system, and we typically respond within one business day.
No problem. Our intake questionnaire identifies your situation upfront. If you need Standard ($750) for rental income, investments, or multi-state filing, we'll let you know before any work starts. You'll always know the price before we begin — we'll never surprise you with a higher bill after the fact.
