Best Way to File Your taxes?

[musicnazi]

use an accountant... no matter what they charge you will save money

[palmer]

it cost 50 bucks jackie

so it cost 50 and you get 50 back.... why didn't you just quickly do it yourself and get the whole 100

i think you are misunderstanding dude :wink:

thesightless, do my taxes for me?

[neoee]

I always had good luck with TaxCut. I tried the H&R block thing one year and will never do it again. I was better off with the software. If your going to have someone else do it I would definately do what Sightless is saying and see a CPA.

BTW Sightless- please elobarate on the standard deduction comment. I only bought a house this year so I will be able to clear the standard deduction this time, but in the past I wouldn't have been able to itemize enough to get over the standard so I really didn't see any other options. I'm really curious as to what other options exist.

you are all nuts. go to a CPA. (my firm will do if your on east coast :wink: )> we can always find out what you are missing out on. so many little things around that you can apply to help yourself out. especially if you own your own business. NOL's etc, also, past things like student loans and mortgage interest for those own houses can be very valuable when preparing your returns. also, NEVER take the standard deduction if make anything more than 10k a year/.

good luck everyone.

hey sightless, I work in media and I have cable just so I can keep watch of all the news shows. I obviously watch other things, but is my cable bill something I can write off? It's over $1200 a year.

[Civic_Zen]

You pay more then 100$ a month for cable? What the hell do you smoke that makes you want to get raped by the cable company??

[skahound]

I thought that was common. We pay $104/month. Of course it includes the cable and the internet service.

[Civic_Zen]

We pay $90 at my house. For 4 Mbps cable modem and cable TV. But I was thinking he was referring to just the cable. Besides, I think I need to switch to satellite, cheaper, more channels

[skahound]

My parents went to Dish Network and have never looked back. Granted they're now on dial-up which works for them. I would die without a high speed connection and without cable it costs an arm and a leg.

MY 2 Cents:
I'm with you! Every year I get them done by a CPA and you'd be surprised what you can deduct and how much more you can get back/not owe. It's definately worth it!! H&R Bozo's are gonna do the very LEAST amount of work to help you out.
