How this score is calculatedRubric 2026.1. Each criterion scores 0–5 from verified attributes, then is weighted. Nothing here is entered by hand.
CriterionWeightScorePoints
This year's filing100%3.023.02
Total100%3.0

Standard tier. Weights are published on the methodology page; a change to any of them is a rubric version bump, not a silent edit.

Itemised rather than flat: $399 to prepare, $49 to fax it to the IRS with proof of filing, and $99 more if the company had any income or expenses, so $547 for a company that traded and $448 for one that did not. A named licensed CPA prepares and signs it. A missed earlier year is $947 with penalty relief. Run by TaxUSA Group in Brooklyn, New York.

Priced per form in its help centre rather than on its main price list: $600 for Form 5472 and $150 for the pro forma 1120, $750 together. It is an expat tax firm, compared in the expat tax table for personal returns; the same article prices an EIN application at $150 and a non-resident 1040-NR at $525, for an owner who needs those too.
