This year we decided to go with a professional accountant (retired IRS agent) and couldn't be happier. The software I was buying was around $80 USD. The accountant only charged $200 USD and we got a lot of advice from him. The main reason for the change was to get more of an adviser for future planning and tax strategies versus a program. Plus it was a huge time savings because it took him an hour with giving us advice when it would take us about half a day with the program. I won't go back to the software.

That's why I'm planning to see an accountant this year. Just from my initial phone call, I was able to see the value of working with an advisor. I'd hired accountants before, but they were just never smart enough to provide advice that went to the level I need. This guy seems different. Yeah, absolutely.
