Ah I see. I am in Texas and no state income tax. I am unsure what typical additional costs are for state tax filing.
I highly suggest for you to consult another local CPA on approximate pricing. Or, go to a CPA forum and provide the same details, should receive honest opinions there.

$400 for the joint federal is higher than I’ve seen tho....based on what you’ve said
