pauln Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I have always done my own taxes - the "experts" are no smarter than you or I. Plus, if you don't bother to learn, how would you base decisions throughout the year to your advantage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champagne taste beer budget Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'd always done our taxes, but after opening the business I didn't feel comfortable with learning all the depreciation, deduction and other intricacies so we now leave it up to the accountant. I am usually happiest if I get back $100. I want to have all of the money that's mine as soon as I can, not let Uncle Sam "borrow" it interest free until I can file my taxes and get the refund. Although I do know people that use the refund as a self-contributing savings account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMcGoo Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 If you need help with your taxes, always hire a CPA with a good reputation for honesty, knowledge, timelyness and reasonable rates. The best preparers are frequently less expensive when all variables are considered. The corporate preparers use people with limited experience and education. Some of the corporate preparers are failures from accounting programs. Others are part-timers that lack the wide range of skills needed. The corporates lay awake at night trying to think of new ways to exploit their customers' ignorance. For example, they charge very high rates of interest on loans that are not really needed for tax refunds. They charge $75 for electronic filing to speed a refund up by two weeks. That has the effect of an APR of 97% "interest" (rent) to get the refund a couple of weeks sooner. Beware of the"investments" that they recommend for IRAs etc. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but Michael, just think what cool conversations you would be missing out on if you didn't have your financial advisor, accountant and attorney buds to talk to.
