Whoa~ $1k for personal income tax?! Unless your situation is super complicated, I can't imagine why you'd be charged that much.
Professional personal income tax reporting services range from $20 (at the Mall) to $400-ish for something sufficiently complicated (lots of investments stuff and claims, etc.). Depending on how lazy and complicated your filing is, it may or may not be worthwhile to hire an accountant for this.
