Are we the only people that still do our own taxes?

[FreshTressa]

We always have.

I always wonder if we are missing something!

 

[cristbaby]

I still do my own taxes. Don't like anybody else poking around in my business. YOU'RE PROBABLY not missing anything unless you have alot of investments. It's all pretty self explanatory.

You know, we have done our own for over ten years and this year went to a CPA ($275 - yikes!) to get them done. We bought/sold a home this year and DD moved out and went to college, we just wanted to make sure they were done right and see if there are any new or missed deductions to take advantage of. After our session, I must say we would have been fine using Turbo Tax again, the accountant did not bring anything new to the table. But, it is worth piece of mind sometimes to be sure. Good luck

We've used Turbo Tax the last few years. I wouldn't touch our taxes with a 10-foot pole, but DH has degrees in economics and finance so he can handle it.

 

[FreshTressa]

Thanks...makes me feel better.

It never seems that complicated, but people seem to make a big deal out of it, so I have always wondered!

We don't own a business or have any complicated write-offs, so I think we are fine.

 

[Bob Slydell]

I've always done ours, along with a few family members as well. I'm a CPA (although not a tax professional).

 

[CheshireVal]

I've always done mine.

 

[Sonya]

We had a bad experience with a tax preparer so DH always does ours with computer software. We already have our refunds!

 

[The Mystery Machine]

DH has always done ours. Now he uses TurboTax. Not rich enough to have to pay someone. Ours are pretty simple to file.

 

[mickeyboat]

We did our own taxes until Dh went into business for himself. Now I have anough trouble just keeping track of everything and getting the information to the accountant, I don't want to worry about missing something or doing something wrong on our taxes.

DH does ours, but then he is a CPA tax specialist who's on the National Tax Board and meets with the IRS bigwigs twice a year... so I think he can handle it

 

[Galahad]

We use Turbo tax, but Always do our own - even since they've gotten complicated. We NEVER file electronically either - and won't until the require it (making things easier on the IRS is not one of my goals in life).

 

[luvwinnie]

DH does them with turbo tax.

 

[Brianne]

I do them with Turbo Tax--always have. DH won't touch them with a ten foot pole.

 

[puffkin]

I am a CPA, but not involved with taxes. I do our own with Turbo Tax. I refuse to do family members though. Since I am not involved with taxes on a day to day basis, I don't want to take on that risk. I have never had a problem with Turbo Tax though, it is very self explanatory. Unless you have a business or complicated investments, it should work fine for most people.

 

[clh2]

We also do our own. We use TaxCut though. It is DH's preferred tax software program.

I did before I got married. My MIL checks tax returns for a living. She freelances for all the firms in her small town and usually ends up with the complicated ones. She prepares and files ours for us.

 

[horseshowmom]

I've always done ours. I did switch to TurboTax a few years ago, and I love it. It really does make it easier and saves time.

 

[Amy]

I've always done ours, been using Turbo Tax since 1996. Ours are pretty simple (just W-2's, interest, dividends), so I'd hate to pay someone to do them.

TurboTax Rocks! I've been doing our taxes with it the last 4 years!! The accountant used to charge us almost $300. NOT WORTH IT!

We got our refund last week!!!!!! Using it for our cruise!
