Questions

## Pricing, answered.

What a return costs, what is included, and what is quoted separately.

### How much does it cost to file a US tax return with Evolv Tax?

A standard federal return (Form 1040) is $19.99, and each state return is $29.99. Itemized returns and returns with Schedule C, E or 1099 income are $99.99 federal. Every fee is a flat fee per return, listed on this page.

### How much is a non-resident return under the US–India tax treaty?

A federal non-resident return filed under the US–India tax treaty is $79.99, plus $29.99 for each state return if you need one.

### How much does ITIN help cost?

ITIN guidance with paper filing is $99.99 federal. If you are also making the election to treat a non-resident spouse as a US resident so you can file jointly, it is $110.

### Are there any hidden fees?

No. Fees are flat per return — federal and each state — with no upsells. The prices on this page are our preparation and filing fees; any government costs are separate.

### How much does each extra state return cost?

Each state return is $29.99, and city tax returns are $9.99. If you lived or worked in more than one state, you pay for each state you actually need.

### What about FBAR, amendments, extensions or IRS letters?

These depend on your situation, so they are not on the fixed price list. Contact us with a few details and we will tell you the fee before any work starts.

### Is it cheaper than doing it myself with tax software?

Our standard federal return starts at $19.99 and comes with a dedicated human preparer and a document-first review. For visa holders the bigger cost is usually a wrong residency status, a missed treaty benefit or a missed FBAR — which software often gets wrong.

### Is the fee per person or per return?

Per return. A married couple filing jointly files one federal return, so it is one federal fee — plus one fee for each state return you need.

### Do I have to file a state return with you?

No. You only pay for the returns you need — the federal return on its own, or federal plus each state at $29.99. If you live in a state with no income tax on wages, you may not need a state return at all.
