A quality tax preparer is no more than "a few hundred bucks". It is a more direct and quicker route than this faintly dramatic treatment, TBH.
You're right in that the IRS will treat people operating in good faith just fine, but a decent preparer makes it so much easier. My guy just asks me for my stuff in January and does his thing.
- Redoubts 5y agoWhere do you find good people for this?
- eropple 5y agoI asked friends and got recommendations from solid people I trust, like I do most things.
- bob1029 5y ago> A quality tax preparer is no more than "a few hundred bucks". I do not want to continue to contribute to the tax preparation ecosystem any more than absolutely necessary. Paying a CPA to file my taxes is no different than paying intuit for a new copy of turbotax every year. I don't see a distinction in principle. They probably use the same software internally.
- eropple 5y agoMy tax preparer is also my accountant and one of my financial advisors. Tax preparation is a service he offers. And I have access to all of the spreadsheets he uses to calculate them, so I'm fairly certain it's not "the same software internally". If you don't see a distinction here, I suspect it's because you don't want to.
