I have tried doing them myself, and just get so conused. My Dad ends up doing them, now when I move out, I can`t go on theirs so I would either have to pay someone to do them, or attempt them myself.

I don't make much in a year, but I would most likely pay someone unless I really couldn't afford it. Here you still have to pay for the program to do your taxes so either way your paying.

Hi Eagle, when I worked as a consultant I used to do or submit my own tax forms. Our company provided us with the template v on how b to compute for the correct amount to b be declared. Other than n filing up the forms we were also required to be the ones to submit the forms in the bureau and have it stamped. The forms were available online and you can just print yourself a copy, fill it up, Submit it and that's it. I'm glad now that I no longer needed to submit my own tax forms anymore.

I have been doing my own taxes for last 10 years. I been using the free software online like H&R Block but this year it did calculate my taxes right escpecailly since my daughter is going to college it did not give the American student credit so I went to another software and ask me all the right questions and my roll over 401k since I was laid off and got another job etc... it never even ask to enter that it kept wanting to penalize me 20% of that money. I knew something was not right. I just got confirmation from IRS that my forms are approved and I will get the refund owed me and not the other way around. I been with H&R Block but this year was very disappointed. I knew my taxes were going to be complicated but not this complicated. Thanks Unique16

I do my taxes myself online at turbotax. Mine are relatively easy and don't have a lot of added deductions.
