[Hidden-tech] Suggested tax people?

[Jan Werner]

I would not recommend using online tools, but I do recommend using 
TurboTax. Home & Business for self employed and small business owners, 
Premier for everyone else.

If you are at all knowledgeable about taxes and do your homework, it 
really isn't that difficult to do your own taxes, unless you have some 
very peculiar circumstances. But if you feel more comfortable having an 
accountant do them for you, you should do so.

However, you should pay an accountant for his/her knowledge about the 
tax code, not for doing the work sifting through and organizing your 
data to file the returns. So it's definitely worth the $60-$80 it will 
cost to buy the appropriate version of TurboTax that you can use to 
organize your information as required and prepare a draft return with 
all the supporting documents your accountant will eventually need.
