What is the average the accountant charge for filing 1040 federal return ( jointly)

It depends on many factors. But a fair price for your average tax return with 2 or 3 W2, interest income and dividends reported on 1099-INT/DIV would be between $140 to $200. If you want to DIY go to JH and pay $25!
