I use an accountant.
As you should, having your own company with several full time employees!
Don't worry, I'm not gonna start any sword fights. I'm over that phase.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I always did my own taxes on paper, because they were simple. Couple years ago, I used TurboTax because I'd waited until the last possible moment. It did fine, but having to print out paperwork to mail in annoyed me no end. Last year, my sister did my taxes with TurboTax. I was annoyed again. For 2009? I bought a house, I bought a new car, there are gov. programs for both, and I owe state taxes in two states. I think I should get an accountant.

Sounds like a good investment, Zen.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Ha, Perkins. Teasing him would be hysterical. I did wonder about the placement of the covers.

I'm doing the same thing, Zen.

I was Zen two years ago. My accountant is awesome.

Thanks to all the tax talk here, I have been trying to research a post-divorce issue. When we used to file jointly KCD's name was listed first so most tax documents we got have his SSN listed. Now, I don't know if that means he has to report the forms we have on his return or if I can report them on my return. It is a mix of income (interest from a previous joint account) and deduction (final mortgage interest paid). So far I haven't found anything on the IRS pages that addresses this issue.
I've used Turbo Tax for year and have been pleased. I worked for H&R Block for 2 tax seasons - wow - 20 years ago (K-Bug was born during my first season).
I'm pretty sure KCD is going to ask if I'll do his taxes for him this year. He has never done them and since I have to figure out how to split stuff out anyway.... Will cross that bridge when it comes.

I am a big proponent of doing one's taxes oneself, but, Suzi, this seems one of those times you really should use an accountant.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I'm a fan of accountants. This year I'll have my regular taxes, taxes on some freelance work I did, and all the tax stuff for Dad's two months in 2009 and his estate. Even if I were willing to just wing it on my own taxes, I'm responsible for the estate for both myself and my sister. So I'm getting a pro for the whole shebang.
