The honest truth about DIY tax software: TurboTax and Free Tax USA are fine if your taxes are straightforward. But here's what they can't do—they can't think ahead for you, catch the nuances in your situation, or answer "what if I do this differently next year?"

That's where we come in.

How We Work

Personal Service, Not an Algorithm

When you work with Ardigee Unlimited, you're not clicking through screens hoping you answered everything correctly. You get:

• A dedicated tax preparer who reviews your unique situation
• A compliance team that double-checks every return for accuracy (because errors are costly)
• Light strategy insights to help you think smarter about next year—not heavy-handed planning, just thoughtful observations about opportunities you might be missing

We handle individuals and businesses, staying current on tax law changes so you don't have to.

Our Pricing: Clear and Straightforward

We believe in transparency. Here's what tax preparation costs:

Individual Returns:

• Simple 1040 (W-2, standard deduction): Starting at $399

Business Returns:

• Schedule C (sole proprietor): Starting at $ 549

All returns include federal and state filing (one state). Additional states are extra.

Pricing varies based on complexity. We'll give you an exact quote after a free 15-minute consult. Pricing is for preparation only and does not include bureau, bank, or advance loan fees.

Why Choose Us Over DIY Software?

DIY Software:

Generic questions, generic results
You're on your own if audited
Misses deductions if you don't know to look for
No forward thinking
"Are you sure?" anxiety

Ardigee Unlimited:

Personalized review of YOUR situation
We stand behind our work
Our team catches what software misses
Strategic insights for smarter planning
Professional confidence & compliance team review

Think of it this way: Software costs $60-$299 and takes 3-5 hours, or more, of your time (and stress). We charge more, yes—but we save you time, reduce your audit risk, and often find deductions that more than pay for our fee.

Common Objections We Hear

"I can't afford a professional."
Fair concern. But consider this: One missed deduction or one mistake that triggers an audit can cost you far more than our fee. Plus, our strategy insights often help clients save hundreds (sometimes thousands) in future tax years.

"My taxes aren't that complicated."
Maybe! But even "simple" returns benefit from a second set of expert eyes. We routinely find credits and deductions that software users overlook—education credits, home office deductions, retirement contribution opportunities.

"I've used TurboTax for years."
And if it's working great, keep doing it! But if you've ever thought "Am I missing something?" or "I wish I understood this better"—that's exactly what we're here for.
