I just got the last of my tax forms together for 2009, and I have filled out all of the paperwork for my accountant to begin doing my taxes.
Last year, I did my taxes and had my accountant do them as well. He made my refund larger by more than his fee. He is also there for me if I am ever audited at no additional charge.
However, for many people, taxes are not very complex. It might be just as easy and cheaper to do it yourself, either by hand or using a computer program or tax website.
So, which do you do? Do you take your taxes to an accountant or take the do-it-yourself route? Please tell us what you do and why in the comments.
