I'm a CPA, and I pay another CPA specialized in taxes to do mine. Our tax code is far too complex. Basically no one can just sit down and do their taxes and be sure that they are paying the minimum amount they owe.
- kevin_thibedeau 7y agoI do it every year. I have nothing to deduct so it makes no sense to pay someone else to fill in numbers I already have.
- PaulDavisThe1st 7y agoOn the contrary. I would wager that the vast majority of Americans can do a very simple tax computation (especially after the Trump administrations' increase in the standard deduction, whatever you think about the politics of it) and get their taxes correct. Yes, there are several million people with special cases. If there were 3 million of them, that's not even 1% of the population. A significant group, but hardly demonstrative of "basically no-one". Income - [ 3 or 4 basic deductible items ] - [ N * exemptions ] - standard deduction => go to tax table => tax. Done.
