Yep Jersey...TurboTax is the way to go.

We have investments, rental property, and other complicated stuff. Works great. I even do my mom's taxes. Accountant used to charge us $400 and $600 respectively to complete the forms. I can do them both for $60 and a few hours of my time.

 

If you have any complications, just remember- Garbage in, garbage out. A CPA or good tax preparer can save you his/her fee if you miss deductible items.
(Caveat- I'm a CPA)

 

I do my own, for personal and my business. Not all that complicated. I keep all my work in Quickbooks Pro, at the year end just pull up the accountant's copy for state and federal taxes.

 

hmmmmmmm, I might have to give Turbo Tax a try. How much is the twin scroll version? harharhar

 

i agree 100%. some people don't realize that real estate taxes are part of their itemized deductions or the state wage taxes withheld are itemized deductions, etc.......

I just happened to be an "almost cpa" (passed the test, but 500 working hours short of my official license... I HATE CPA's!!!!!), so I have no problems doing my own or helping others with semi-easy questions....

I love comments like "anyone making over $70k is paying 49% taxes".

Scot, you are making me cry....
I included "a good tax preparer... just for people like you.
You hate CPA's till UR1!

 

i don't hate cpa's... i just hate the 2 blockheads that i quit my good job to work for...... i should have known better...... it was a father and son who would work until 3:00am.... when i would leave at 7:00-8:00pm they would be like....."you coming back"... ahahhaha... ya, in the morning dumbshit.....

so i quit.... no cpa for me.

 

i do, but then again i barely make ish so i can telefile !!!

 

Jeez, if you passed the exam, that's half the battle. Find someone else to work for. I'm my own boss and leave for home when I feel like it.

 

Used Turbo-Tax for several years and it is the best.
