It&#8217;s SOOO worth it to have a tax accountant to look into every possible way of saving money and get my max possible returns every year. I <strong>so<\/strong> don&#8217;t understand why some people still think they can save more money on taxes than the money they spend on a good tax accountant (<i>ahem, you know who you are<\/i> \ud83d\ude09 ). I mean, what can their $30 software know that a good tax accountant doesn&#8217;t know more about? And besides, a software can&#8217;t help you save what it doesn&#8217;t know. On the other hand, a good tax accountant can always put 2 and 2 together, ask follow up questions if he thinks additional savings can be itemized or simply being there to answer all the questions <strong>throughout the rest of the year<\/strong> on best practice to save money before the next tax season comes. <\/p>\n<p>On the flip side, my corporate tax filing was late because stupid FedEx messed up. Either way, this is going to be another good year despite (or maybe <i>because of?<\/i>) my unemployment&#8230; My accountant never disappoints. He&#8217;s always come through even when I didn&#8217;t think I could get too much more out of the previous year&#8217;s return!! <\/p>\n<p>For the most part, I don&#8217;t mind paying taxes because the United States still has great social services for its people. Brian used to tell me that he&#8217;s always glad to pay Austrian taxes because their social programs far outweight the high percentage of taxes he pays in Europe.
