Will you be doing your taxes yourself, TurboTax, or Company?

I always used to do my own taxes, even when I would have 15 pages to send in when I ran my own business, but the last 2 years I have used TurboTax, and will be using it again this year. I took my taxes (when I did my own) to H&R Block to double check my return, and they wanted to know who did mine as they said they had people who couldn't do all the stuff that I had completed. That didn't give me much confidence in going to any company like that again!

I might be trying to do them myself. Or getting my mom to do them for me!

I've been interested in Turbo Tax but wasn't sure if it would be more confusing than the forms. I've done my own before and also taxes for a corporation. But forms confuse me and I'm tempted to go the Turbo Tax route this year.

My husband pays to have an accoutant to do it. I told him I could do them, but he is paranoid. This way I don't have to stress over them. He has a piece of mine if something should be found wrong & the IRS wants to come knocking ;)

My husband already did ours and filed them. We use TaxAct. We had TurboTax come up with a couple of errors, not in our favor, so we no longer use that software. We've used TaxAct for the past three years. We usually have our money within a week and a half. Of course, it's always spent long before it hits the bank! lol My mom worked for H&R Block years ago. They'd hire people in who could barely turn a computer on, much less know what forms to do! She started working for herself, but hasn't done taxes in a long time. Well, she will for family, but most of us don't own anything, so it's a snap to do them ourselves. :)

we have a friend do ours who used to do taxes for a living he acutally gets us more than H&Rblock did, he was mad we went to them one year, and before he did them and after that he was the one who always got us the most back.

I usually make my tax report on my own every year. Since I only a worker, so my income tax are withheld by the company, I only have to attached my withheld tax report in my tax report. It doesnt bother me, since i only do that once a year

I leave all my taxes work all up to my account to work on it. I really don't have time to do it myself.

Aah the beauty of working for an accountant. He does my taxes for me every year and it doesn't cost me a cent. I must admit he gets me a better refund that if I tried doing my own.
