Who does your taxes, and would you consider getting them done by a local business (accountant)?

Answer 1

We have an accountant that pretty much specializes in our type of business. If there were one closer than 45 miles and was recommended by someone I trust, I would probably try them out.

Answer 2

Depends upon how much accounting work is involved and how complicated is the tax return, and your knowledge on this subject.
If it is a 1040 EZ, you can easily do a paper return without even using a software or use a software.
Many times it is better to use a tax professional to do your return.

Answer 3

I've been doing taxes professionally and semi-professionally for over 40 years. I use Tax Cut for my own return and the few returns that I do for others. I don't do enough to warrant the purchase of professional grade software though I do buy several copies a year to stay legal on the licensing. I use Tax Cut as it allows me to easily override the program's calculations and make direct entries on the forms when needed.

Answer 4

If you are getting an accountant why would you use someone who isn't local? Whether you need an accountant depends on the complexity of your return.
