An accountant would be even more hassle than dealing with it myself, so no thanks. I don't keep receipts. I don't want to keep receipts. I just want to fill in 8 lines of math. Sign it, send in my check, and forget about it. I don't care about the extra money, I just want the extra time. The added hassle I'm annoyed by is that I had to buy TurboTax and waste time installing it. And since I was efiling, I had to waste 20 minutes trying to find last years return to electronically sign and when I couldn't find it I now have to print out a form and mail it in. All because of a stray 1099-MISC.
I don't care about the money, just that the whole process has taken 45 minutes instead of 15.
Plus, I don't want to own a house. The added tax hassle is just one negative. I'm a very happy renter.
