Do your own taxes…or use a CPA?
Posted by Blondie on 2/5/14 at 9:07 am00
I have always used Taxact to do my taxes, but I am thinking about getting a CPA this year.Does anyone know any good CPA’s? This seriously stresses me out! I don’t understand half the questions they ask on that damn website!

CPA - my taxes are way too complicated for me to do.

Been using Mary K. Carleton for the last 15yrs - it is a breeze - wife and I are both retired.

I guess it depends on your situation.
I used a CPA the year I got a huge bonus from work that wasn't taxed. Didn't want to file wrong.
That was the only year though. Don't own property or a bunch of deductions so using online programs works for me.
But if you have more complex stuff or itemize than maybe a CPA would be better for you.
ETA: Cost me $200 to use a CPA....that's cheap actually from what I've heard

i think that would depend on what type of/how many types of income, assets and liabilities you have

depends on how complex your return is
this, i am not married, do not own a home, do not own my own business, am not a vet, and i do not travel for work.
i do the turbotax simple file and the only two things i fill in are W-2 info and student loan info.
Turbo tax is horrible. Last night I was on Taxact...one min I was rich...then next min I owed a ton back! No clue what the hell I did. So I am calling a CPA. Can I bring old tax returns to see if I did them right? Maybe I can get more money!

Mother is a CPA. Brilliant woman when it comes to doing taxes.

It's worth the $100 my wife and I pay to have a CPA do it
