# How much does a filing credit cost? Filed employs a simple, credit-based pricing model. Credits are the currency you use across all Filed products. ## Credit Costs by Product **Filed Prep (Tax Preparation)** * Simple individual returns: 0.5 credits * Standard individual returns: 1 credit * Advanced returns: 1.5 credits * Ultra-complex returns: 3+ credits (Invite only) The complexity determination depends on the form and schedule types involved. Users always see the credit cost before submission. **Filed Reviewer** * All reviews: 0.25 credits The reviewer compares source documents against returns and creates a Review Action List at a consistent cost regardless of return complexity. **Filed Tax Planner** * All tax plans: 1 credit This product analyzes completed returns and source documents while evaluating 120+ tax strategies to generate client-ready plans with citations. ## Plans & Pricing The per-credit rate depends on the selected plan, with lower rates available the more credits you purchase. Current plan details are available on the pricing page. ## Free Trial Yes. Qualified firms are eligible for a free trial and can apply to receive complimentary credits for real return experience. ## Credit Management **Adding Credits:** Contact your account manager or use in-product chat support to add credits or upgrade your plan. **Expiration:** Credits are tied to your plan term. Confirm specifics with your account manager. **Cross-Product Use:** Credits work across Prep, Reviewer, and Tax Planner with flexible allocation. **Tracking:** Credit balance and usage history are accessible via the Filed dashboard at any time. ## Important Notes **No Hidden Fees:** Pricing is transparent. You will only spend credits when sending data to tax software, running a review, or generating a tax plan. **Out of Credits:** Users cannot submit new returns, reviews, or plans until additional credits are purchased. **Software Provider Charges:** Connecting Filed to existing software may incur separate fees from the software provider. *** Legacy URL: --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
