As a CPA in training I can give you some insight.
Every CPA has a hourly rate in which they charge, always ask what that rate is. Some have previously worked for the Big 4 and will charge a massive rate because of that.
Secondly it depends on what they are filing. Is it a personal return? Where you have one source of income? Multiple sources of income such as investments, rental properties? Is it for you and a partner?
You need to leave this leech of a CPA. Go around, ask different CPAs for their quotes and get a feel for them, it is more than a numbers game, trust me.
Regardless the amount you were charged is absurd, leave and find someone else.
