Tax Help Tips: Is Your DIY Tax-Prep Solution Worth the Savings?

With people struggling for extra cash this year, more taxpayers are opting to prepare their taxes themselves or use tax-preparation software to save on fees.

While tax-filing software programs are great and can help you take advantage of all your allowable deductions, it’s important to know the limitations of DIY tax preparation.

If you have anything more than a straight W-2 (including anyone with even the smallest business ’schedule C’), you should not do your taxes yourself.

Hiring a good number cruncher can help you not only minimize your tax liability, but also keep you out of trouble with the IRS as they are stepping up enforcement.

Don’t be penny wise and pound foolish — hiring an expert CPA or EA to prepare your tax return is a small annual investment that can pay off big. With IRS audits on the rise, your tax return will likely be under greater scrutiny than ever before by the IRS and taxpayers need to know when to ask for expert tax help, especially when dealing with the IRS. If you owe back taxes that you can’t afford to pay or have unfiled tax returns, it’s important to know that a Certified Tax Resolution Specialist, tax attorney or CPA can help you negotiate a tax settlement and permanently settle your IRS debt.
