- Question: Does sales tax apply to tax preparation fees when a client receives a completed paper tax return from the tax preparer? Answer: No, because the true object of the transaction is the service (tax preparation). Although the client obtains tangible personal property (a paper tax return), it is incidental in nature (https://www.cdtfa.ca.gov/lawguides/vol1/sutr/1501.html).
