Re: Accountant vs. HR Block vs. Do it Yourself

I've always gone with HR Block and never had a problem, but my taxes are really easy, no special deductions. Not much has changed, except for being married, so we'll stick with HR.

Thanks for the feedback!

Re: Accountant vs. HR Block vs. Do it Yourself

for my situation this year an accountant is the best choice

I used to do it my self- however- since I got married in 2005- and my huband opened a business in 2005

and then he needed to close a deal and couldn't do it in his name- he put it thru in mine- so that added $$$- but 1099- on top of my regular salary- I need help!

it's so compicated I can't even explain it

Re: Accountant vs. HR Block vs. Do it Yourself

I do them myself. Once you start and read it through, it becomes very simple. The instrustions are there, your just taking figures and putting them on the right line, and then adding and subtracting.

I have taught so many people to do taxes and I do my families, and in laws. They always want to pay me for it, when I wish they would just let me teach them how easy it is.

We found that with the accountant that there were things we could deduct that are legal that we never would have thought of. Once we went to him, we would never go back to doing it ourselves.
