Most common

Full reinstatement

$4,500–$7,500+

Best for full 990/990-PF filers, cases past 15 months, or any case needing a reasonable-cause statement — Sections 5, 6, and 7.

  • Everything in streamlined
  • Reasonable-cause narrative — one year or all three, as required
  • Full Form 1023
  • Multiple delinquent 990 / 990-EZ returns
  • Prior-preparer errors and complications handled

Flat fee, fixed in advance: after your free status check we quote a single price in writing — and that’s what you pay for the engagement. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

IRS user fees are separate. The application fee is $275 for Form 1023-EZ or $600 for the full Form 1023 — set by the IRS and billed at cost. Everything else is covered by your flat fee.

What every engagement includes

The same standard, whichever tier you’re on

  • A free status check before you commit
  • A flat fee, quoted in writing up front — no hourly surprises
  • All preparation and filing handled for you
  • Follow-through until your determination letter arrives
  • Direct access to the CPA on your case

What determines your fee

Where you land in the range

  • Whether you file the full Form 990 or 990-EZ / 990-N
  • How many years of delinquent returns are needed
  • Whether a reasonable-cause statement is required, and for how many years
  • Added complexity — prior-preparer errors, missing records, or lapsed state registrations
  • Timing — within 15 months of revocation, the lighter (and less costly) paths are generally still open
