Emptying the Poor Box - Tax Time
I feel like the Sheriff of Nottingham - all fat and weasely with a droopy belt, taking money from little rabbits. I just did my taxes. I used 3 different services - TurboTax, H&R Block and TaxAct. And I got 3 totally different results. Guess I'll just pick the one that gives me the most?
I carefully entered the same information on each. Since I'm scared of the IRS, I was conservative too. TaxAct gave me the best result, though I do lots of 1099-MISC work every year so I still owe a little money. But the difference was staggering - hundreds of dollars on both federal and state returns! That makes me really want to see a CPA, but if I already owe a little, I don't want to pay someone $250 to tell me about it.
How do you do your taxes? Are you confident doing them online, by yourself?
