Around 2018, my accountant retired and sold his business to some other firm. That year, the other firm had some newbie cpa do my taxes. If I had blindly gone with his effort, I would have had to pay thousands of dollars. The problem is, he made a huge mistake because he didn't listen to what I had told him regarding a step up cost basis on inherited stocks. I fired them the instant I saw that issue. Then I was stuck with nobody to do my taxes! I used TurboTax and got it done myself and actually received a small refund that year. And no, nothing was done fraudulently, it's just that I knew the details of our situation far better than any cpa who refused to listen to what I told him or was too "green" to know what I was talking about (unforgivable, imho). I've used TurboTax ever since then. Yes, I know it sucks in many ways, but the thing is, they bailed me out and saved me thousands of dollars over the years for hundreds of dollars in fees.
