Turbotax is my cheapest option to doing taxes.
My tax lawyer would cost me probably $40,000 to do the same thing just for the hours and their obsession with analyzing parallel legal theories and case law. I use my tax lawyer to construct the whole business model before any tax filings actually have to occur. Yes I could also consider a different lawyer and cpa for actually filing the tax return. They would also be more expensive than Turbotax and I would be paying two lawyer then.
Reading comprehension gives the biggest advantage with taxes. It is worth it for me.
The IRS is more of an ally than an adversary when you are using them to basically approve exactly how you wont pay them taxes, in advance.
Barrier of entry is pretty high to unlock that level, I dont mind, its what I always aspired to do.
- bluGill 7y agoThere are other tax programs that are generally cheaper than turbotax.
- rolltiide 7y agoyes, at this point I just don't want additional organizations having my data credit karma having more comprehensive financial data on me? no thanks! just stick with the credit line approvals from self-reported income
- tathougies 7y agoEasiest way to do taxes is to do them by hand. There are copious amounts of guides from the irs explaining in detail how to fill in each box.
- rolltiide 7y agoyes, for me the interrelated nature of some of the calculations on different forms is what I prefer a computer to do. 100 pages that I had to print twice and couldn't e-file, fun! but by hand? not fun I did read the comprehensive instructions for some forms.
