I highly suggest for you to consult another local CPA on approximate pricing. Or, go to a CPA forum and provide the same details, should receive honest opinions there.

The “Married filing separately” caught my eyes. Although one is still entering the same amount of info into the system, it may be possible that she is charging your and your wife returns full price for each, as if it’s for two separate person.

$400 for the joint federal is higher than I’ve seen tho....based on what you’ve said
