Who Does Your Taxes?

[robin1128]

I use to get my mom to do them, until I start useing Turbo tax on line. And I get my tax return faster. How do you do your taxes and does it cost you?

I do them myself.  Last year I had someone who specializes in taxes for my field because I thought I could get more money back, waste of money so now I will go back to doing them myself.

I do my husband's and my taxes.  I also do my brother's and his wife's for them.  Plus I do my parents' taxes.  They used to take them out to have them done, and since I do them for them now, they are saving that money.  Plus, last year when I did my parents taxes, I got them a larger refund because they didn't realize there were things they could itemize so they never took that paperwork with them.

I do my taxes at home with a tax program I have used for years and electronically file them too.

My stepfather uses Turbotax to do our taxes online.  The only cost is the cost of buying Turbotax.

I do my taxes myself.  After years working with one of the top tax company.  If you take your time and read all the updated information on the IRS website anyone can do their own taxes.

I have done it myself every year.  This year. I have begun it on line with Turbo Tax because my taxes are a little more complicated this year.  I do not know if I will stick with Turbo Tax or go back to doing it myself and save the money.  I like Turbo Tax but I also like having it on paper.  And I like saving the money.

I use a taxes person to do mine because of the farm income.  It takes a little time.  I usually get money back.

I do them myself.

I usually have a tax accountant prepare my income tax annually and the service is not free. I rather seek professional help than to make mistakes. There are service centers that offer free income tax filing for low income families and the elderly. Those are sponsored by the IRS as they are prepared by volunteers and are reviewed by actual IRS agents before submission.

I do my own taxes. I have used several softwares, but really lie H & R Block.  Seemed to maximize my refund.

I usually do my taxes with turbo tax.  This year I am using taxcut since no charge for extra forms. Schedule C should be free. I need to get started.  If anyone has used taxcut, plz share your experience.
