Filing LLC-C Corp taxes with a professional EA

[Ali Masoudi]

Hi guys, I started creating LLCs around my real estate practices in late 2021 (two disregarded LLC and one LLC-C Corp) and now I have to file my 2021 taxes. I'm thinking to work with a very experienced EA (Enrolled Agent) (years of experience with real estate investment taxes) and they've offered around $1,000 for both personal and business taxes. I certainly acknowledge that professional tax advisors can help save money and bring value with tax planning for future months/years; however, given the fact that I didn't have much activity with my C Corp and those disregarded LLC that flow to my personal taxes, I wanted to get your thoughts to see if the fee is really worth it at this early stages of my business? Do you think the fee is reasonable? Any advice would be appreciated.
