Anybody love their CPA?

[vort3xr6]

I am looking to use a CPA this year instead of the obligatory turbotax bs. Anybody like theirs? Recommendations?

Michael Welch. Awesome guy and very thorough.

H&R Block is his mortal enemy.

Terry Brennan in Aurora is good. She does ours. Not the most complicated but I do have a rental unit that complicates things somewhat.

H&R Block blows, that's for sure. I've been screwed by them twice.
From there, I skipped Turbo Tax and went right to a CPA for a number of years. I ended up getting screwed by them too.
I've been using Turbo Tax for the last 5 years or so and have been very happy.

How come you don't like Turbo Tax?

I used to go to HR Block. Until they told me I owed a hundred something plus their fee. I went to turbo tax and never look back.

Turbo tax all the way!! Been using it for over twenty-five years... for business too. I'll redo friends taxes from time to time, and turbo always gets them the better deal.

I'm with Dean - been using TT for the better part of 20 years and always seems to come out well. I took my taxes to H&R block for their "free review" last year and they couldn't do any better than the software did.

I had some interesting stuff happen this year that I feel a CPA would be better suited for. I have a home office that I need to deduct and half a year of work expenses on my personal cards so there are some deductions there too.

Turbo tax has been across the board for me. One year it said I owed thousands. Didn't change a thing the next year and it said I was getting a return. I just don't trust it anymore.

I have heard far too many horror stories about H&R block.

I got a few leads and I am looking for someone to be aggressive and also make strategy recommendations for the next year's. Something turbo tax can never do.

Michael Welch- He's your guy.

Two years ago, I had a CPA do my taxes...then my dad gave me a free use of his Turbo Tax, so out of curiosity I did it on there do, just didn't file. The CPA got me almost $3,000 back from both fed and state, TT would have gotten me $400 from federal and I would have had to pay $150 to state. It's worth it to me to pay a few extra bucks to get the most out of my return.

Did you check with WolfEyez? I'm not sure of his credentials, but I know he's an accountant and can probably give you some solid advice if he can't help you himself.

Thanks meng... I'll talk with the Wife and see if she wants to switch it up from Block like normal.
