Pricing
Priced per firm, then per return.
A yearly subscription for the firm, $5.00 each time you e-file a return, and AI document work billed only when you use it.
Federal e-file nationwide. Michigan and Georgia state returns are prepared and print-ready; state e-file goes live per state as certification completes.
Subscription
One subscription per firm, priced by season.
It covers your whole firm — every preparer, every client, every form Lanatax supports. What you pay depends on the month you buy it in.
$200
Rest of this year
Sold May through December, for the year already underway. Runs through December 31.
$400
Next season, bought early
Also sold May through December, for the year ahead — $100 less than the same season costs once it starts.
$500
Bought during filing season
January through April, for the season in progress. The same access, bought late.
Every subscription ends on December 31 of the tax year it covers, whenever you buy it.
Usage
Filing and AI come out of a prepaid balance.
Your firm keeps a wallet, topped up by card from $5 to $1,000 at a time. Every charge is drawn from it and itemized in the firm ledger.
$5.00 per e-filed return
$1.50 held per document
An empty balance stops the meter
Questions
Before you sign up
Yes — your returns file under your firm’s own EFIN with the ERO option, because IRS rules do not allow firms to share one. You will never need an ETIN, MeF certificates or transmission credentials; that side is ours. The Requirements page walks through all three things your firm brings.
Client data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or better and at rest with AWS KMS, access is scoped to your firm, and returns reach the IRS over the authorized transmission channel we maintain and monitor.
Start with your next return.
Create the firm account, add your EFIN, and start preparing. Preparing a return costs nothing — you pay to e-file it and to have AI read documents.
