That's about what those franchise tax prep companies charge (Liberty Tax, Jackson Hewitt, etc).
I found out my parents used one of these places last year, and they charged them about $350 for a SIMPLE tax return. It looked like the goal was to charge about $50 less than the eventual refund, and also push the "get your refund right now!!" scam (i.e. take a high interest loan for the refund amount).
This year, I did their taxes and mine too (separately), using FreeTaxUSA.
