    Such fees are dictated by the local market. A lawyer/CPA in New York City is more expensive in NYC than in California, which is probably more expensive than in Texas.

    Contact a local tax professional (start with enrolled agents, who SPECIALIZE in tax work and thus charge LESS than CPAs normally charge) to find out what he/she will charge, then shop and compare.
