How many Schedule C filers would be better off as a S Corp? Are you taking all the deductions that may be available. Are you making contributions that can reduce your taxes that all not deductible because you use the standard deduction? Many CPA's will give to an introductory no charge meeting to see if there's a way to save you money.
I've seen too many filers that missed deductions.
I believe that the services we provide are beneficial to our clients. If the taxpayer can do it him/her self I'll tell them.

I contacted a well respected CPA. Is $1500 for a consult about average or were they trying to get rid of me?
