Is It Worth It To Have A Tax Preparer Vs. Software For Me?

Question by PaiGowAddict | Posted in United States

Hello Everyone,

I have always done my taxes myself. However, I always hark to from friends that they got a larger return by using a preparer. I am single, Claim 2, Gains that does not qualify for a free file, have property tax and mortgage interest to claim as well as some student accommodation interest. Employer 401k. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Do Preparers get more for you then software??

Answer: It is some times very tantalizing to approach tax professionals who offer huge refunds without even looking at your tax documents.
If you can't assume trust to it, it is better to avoid it as it could be a scam.

Some times approaching a tax professional will help you as they may single out some deductions which you might have otherwise overlooked. But, if you are aware of tax laws then a tax software is good enough.
