Filing Taxes

[Strangler Lewis]

Focusing on federal taxes, that means finding offsets for 17 to 20k worth of income. I'm not sure you've answered the question about the value of a professional. Was there a point where you said, e.g.,

"Huh! TurboTax never told me I could deduct what I spend on CDs and music downloads because I listen to music when I walk dogs." or

"Huh! TurboTax never told me I could write off my entire mortgage payment as a home office because I have a laptop and wireless Internet."

Or something similar.

No, the point was that doing them at home with software meant we weren't claiming the deductions we should have been claiming. Hiring a professional solved that issue.

And.....you're being a snot to me because......?

Really? OK then. I will shut up. I'll stick to more mundane topics.
