The only complexity I can think of is that we got married mid year last year, so I'm not sure how exactly that works in terms of prepping files, but I still think $950 is absurd. I asked her for a breakdown. She is in MD as well. We got a very small refund. I'm starting to realize she is a scam. Her Google review is solid, but her Yelp (which I did not see until now) are terrible. There were some people people who said she deleted their bad reviews.

Here's my 2 cents. I work at an accounting firm where the bulk (~95%) of our revenue is tax work. Is $950 outrageous for a return with the items you labeled? Absolutely. I don't make or quote the prices here, but if something like yours came across my desk I would imagine $250-300 max (at least here locally). Sure some places are a bit cheaper like Rusty said, but that's location based and how much the accountant actually wants to make. Have you had many back forth emails, phone calls, or correspondents with her? Could be a contributing factor as that's how some of our clients billings are higher. When she does send you an invoice it should have a breakdown at least of what forms are being filed, and if any special or meticulous work there should be a further breakdown.
Regardless you're definitely being bent over.
