Preparing your own income tax return can be a
daunting task that can leave you with more questions
than answers, such as:
Which forms do I
need, and where do I get them?
Did I do all of my
calculations correctly?
Am I going to be
subject to a penalty?
How do I know I'm
getting the biggest refund I deserve?
Did I find all the
deductions I qualify for?
How can I get my
refund quickly?
How do I confirm
that the IRS received my return?
Do I have to file a
state tax return?
How do I determine
my filing status?
Am I a full-year
resident, a part-year resident or a nonresident?
What if I moved
during the year?

can go on and on. That's why you need expert help, and
