Problems?

You can find help on this web site. Your best chances are under the "Individual" tab. Information related to running your own business is under the "Businesses" tab.

We also provide a site that streamlines access to public help at our Do-It-Yourself! tax site.

Finally, should you need help on a tax issue, you can contact us. (That can be done from inside the software.) And if you decide to give up, contact us and we will down load the work you have already done and provide at least a $10 discount on the cost of completing your return.

Maybe you have always done your own taxes but are not convinced it really is your best choice. Certainly we believe that one is better off seeking assistance from a trained and skilled professional. They may be able to identify other opportunities to reduce the tax liability, or ensure that you do not improperly deduct non-deductible expenses.

The first year we took formal training and became a professional tax preparer, one of the tasks we did was to amend our return from the previous year. We had used a very popular tax software package purchased at a warehouse store. But we had not fully understood the issues, and our return was wrong. We received an additional refund!

Most people are capable of preparing their own return, if they will simply dedicate many hours to study updated tax law each year and know what is allowed and not allowed.

But who wants to spend their free time doing that?

Audits (or "enforcement" as the IRS calls it) are up. Tax software will guide you on where to enter information. Tax software may prompt you for other items you can deduct. But tax software cannot openly discuss your situation to help identify the best way to approach your taxes. We discuss some of the reasons to seek help on another page.

Finally, if you have used boxed tax software before, did the vendor of that software contact you during the year to alert you of a change in the tax law that might affect you? That is a service you should expect from whoever helps you with your taxes.
