Our planned price point rolling out of beta will be $9.99 monthly, which puts you right in the $120 annual range as you mentioned.

And you're absolutely right, we don't remove the need to have a CPA, we DO, however, reduce the time you need to interact with your CPA and make it really easy for them to do their job. Given the hourly rate of my CPA, I've paid for Painless if I can reduce his work by almost an hour. We're finding that CPAs and freelancers alike are really digging what we've built thus far.

All in all, this is a product to help people like us solve the same problems we've run into over the years.

FWIW my CPA charges a flat fee ($350, in NYC, which is an expensive city) and does a lot for that fee. My taxes are complicated. I don't think this is uncommon, although I may have a discounted price.

Regardless of mechanics or feature set discussed elsewhere in this thread, selling me on an extra $120/year is an increase of 30% to my hard cost of dealing with taxes per year.
