Apply for Simple 1040 Membership
Built for simple individual filers who do not file Schedules C, E, or F — typically W-2 earners, retirees, and households with modest investments — who want year-round CPA-led support and predictable billing instead of one-time tax prep.
Start any day.
Your membership begins when you join, and we bill every 28 days(13 cycles per year) for a rolling 12-month membership.
Most members choose:
FasTrack 1040:
starting at $45 / 28 days (≈ $585/yr), Essential Tax:
starting at $85 / 28 days (≈ $1,105/yr),
and Peace of Mind Bundle:
starting at $130 / 28 days (≈ $1,690/yr).
Final tier and pricing are confirmed after we review your documents and overall complexity.
Who this is for
- Filers with W-2 income, Social Security, pensions, and modest investment income
- Individuals and couples who do not have business income on Schedules C, E, or F
- Households who want safe-harbor estimates, filing handled, and a CPA they can email all year
- Members comfortable with a flat-fee, every-28-day billing cadence (13/year)
Tax Maintenance
CPA-prepared 1040 + primary state (prep & e-file), quarterly safe-harbor estimate guidance, and (for Essential & Peace of Mind) a mid-year projection to keep you on track.
Access & Support
Secure portal & e-signature, year-round Q&A access (by tier), and priority scheduling for Essential Tax and Peace of Mind members.
Planning & Protection
Depending on your tier: mid-year planning session, IRS transcript monitoring, audit representation (Early Retainer), quarterly tax projections, and notice response service for returns we prepare.
Before we begin, tell us about:
- Your income types for the current year (W-2, SSA-1099, 1099 interest/dividends, pensions, etc.)
- Number of states where you lived or need to file
- Any IRS or state notices you’ve received
- Major life changes (retirement, sale of home, marriage/divorce, new dependents, inheritance)
If your situation is more complex than a Simple 1040 (e.g., rentals, K-1s, business activity on Schedules C/E/F), we’ll recommend our Complex 1040 Maintenance instead and quote a fixed onboarding/cleanup scope before work begins.
Cadence & Billing
Flat-fee membership billed every 28 days (13/year). This is a rolling 12-month commitment for Simple 1040s.
Included Tax Year
Your membership covers the tax year that ends inside your 12-cycle window . For most members, that means the current calendar year filed in the next tax season.
Data Timeliness
To avoid delays, provide requested documents promptly when we ask — especially during filing season and for mid-year checks.
We don’t guarantee specific tax outcomes; results depend on your facts and timely data. This membership does not include Schedules C, E, or F — those are covered under our Complex 1040 Maintenance program.
