It’s that time of the year again. I have an appointment with my CPA tomorrow to have my taxes done. I am not expecting as large of a return as I normally do, for reason’s I think I’ll keep to myself, but I am excited none the less.
About the CPA-
We started going to this CPA a couple of years ago because my wife was selling Creative Memories scrapbooking stuff and the taxes got a bit too complicated to do on Turbotax. So, we started seeing Cyndi.
I honestly thought I could save money by doing it myself, and not have to pay her the $135+ fee to do them for us. However, afterwards I am glad we did and will always have her do my taxes, and this is why:
- She maximized our deductions, and we ended up getting nearly a thousand dollars more back than I had originally calculated.
- She provides copies of everything, nicely bound for safe keeping.
- The service really isn’t that expensive, and is in itself tax deductible.
If you are on the fence about hiring a CPA to do your taxes and you don’t qualify to fill out the EZ form, I’d say have someone else do it!

agree 100%… i always used to do the taxes then we did them with computer software… then it got complicated with hubby’s job and what we could and couldn’t claim… he is in law enforcement… so… we keep everything all year and in january he sends us a nice little packet to complete to make sure we have everything and i dropped off all our stuff yesterday and we already have an appt with him tomorrow to go over everything… it really helps and he does help maximize the deductions… he’s never increased the amount we pay him every year and he advertises in the FOP newsletter so we knew he would/should be good!!!!
