Wow. I must be a greenhorn, because I would never have expected a bill for talking on the phone! I would have expected to be informed upfront, too. I've never had a dr bill me for calling them, or anyone else, either.
Now, if it is an industry standard, then he didn't really *rip you off* but this would still hurt the budget.
I agree with the others about the $300. We have a CPA friend that charges $50 to do our returns, and even that went up from last year. (It is worth every penny, as we trust him and he is fast!) Have you looked around or considered doing them yourself with software?
