[Hidden-tech] Tax quote...

[Ron Miller]

If it is truly simple, this should work, but I tried doing my own taxes 
once (just once) and it was a nightmare. If you have right-offs of any 
kind for your business, it gets very tricky. Many things sound similar 
or the same and it's hard to know what number goes where.

When push comes to shove, my time is better spent on my business and I 
leave it to a professional to sort it out.

Your experience may be different, but I've found for me at least, I 
would rather pay someone to deal with it.
