Many of us here are way more expensive per hour than our accountant ;) -- but to your metapoint that the accountant is more expensive than a new quickbooks subscription, that probably remains true even in the face of the price hike.
- HWR_14 5y agoIf you are not more expensive than your accountant, you should probably do the work yourself. You're not making enough money to pay extra to avoid taxes, and unoptimized taxes are easy enough.
- neltnerb 5y agoThis is only true if you will do the job correctly in a similar amount of time to your accountant. But I do agree, when I had just W2 income and a mortgage it was no big deal to do them myself. I definitely wouldn't use an accountant if my taxes were simple enough to handle it. They're just not that hard.
