As a self-employed individual, I have to think about taxes all year long. While I don’t mind handling this day-to-day paperwork, there’s absolutely no way that I could prepare my own returns properly. The few times I’ve tried doing this in the past, I ended up making a terrible mess of everything, and had to pay an accountant a lot of money to fix things up for me. So, now every year I just go straight to a professional tax preparation service and let accounting experts deal with my return.
I’ve tried many tax preparation services over the years in an effort to get a feel for which ones can get me the biggest refund in the shortest amount of time. Here’s a quick outline of what I’ve discovered.
When I first decided to take my returns to a professional accountant, I went to a well known national company because I figured they’d be best equipped to finish the job in a satisfactory manner. However, I was extremely disappointed with the results, particularly since the person who prepared my return didn’t make himself readily available to answer specific questions I had about my return. Since that bad experience, I’ve been looking at other alternatives including online tax preparation services.
