Quick drive-by posting...
Wondering how you guys did this year at Tax Time... The only reason why I ask is because this is the first year that I've broken down and used an accountant. (In the past, I've used TurboTax, either in software form, or their online version.) We used an accountant at Court's request (second to my workload and current stress levels)...
And I'm actually wondering if the guy paid for himself. He certainly seemed to go much more in-depth than the computer program did, and we're paying less this year than we have in years...

You did the right thing. Beth's idiotic company sent a second W-2 at the end of *March* We had to file an amended return. If you've never tried to file an amended return in Turbo Tax, it's sort of like paying someone to push splinters up under your fingernails. I would rather do everything by hand than go through that again. I know people at work who pay $99 to have an accountant do the taxes. I say it's a bargain.
Sorry I'm so quiet on the board recently. 21 days till I'm out of school. I'm busy finishing up all those projects....
Well--I'm spending a bit more than 99... but it seems worth it to me nonetheless...
An amended return on TurboTax? Yeah--I can see that as a complete and total nightmare....
Michelle's dad is an accountant. He's been doing people's taxes for decades. And he does ours. Which is pretty awesome.
However, we owed the feds quite a bit this time around. The first time for both of us. But we think we've "fixed" the problem for next year.
Yeah, we found if you add a dependent and cut your income in half, it solves a lot of tax problems.
This would be a great time to have an "Office Space" allusion...
"We 'fixed' the glitch..."
Tim--I know where you're comin' from. We did pretty much the same thing down here.
