How do you guys do your taxes?

**doublej95** · 02-03-11, 07:38 PM

turbo tax.

**VegasInsider** · 02-03-11, 07:39 PM

I did mine a couple days ago and I use Turbo Tax. After State and Federal filings, it cost me like $75 or so. I get mine loaded onto one of those Turbo Tax cards, says I'll have my federal money on Feb 11th. By far the easiest way to go..

**Grits n' Gravy** · 02-03-11, 07:42 PM

if you have simple shit, turbo tax is the way to go. if you have a lot of things to file and want it done right, find a good c.p.a.

brock- when you filed your pizza boy earnings, did turbo tax show you an lol and disconnect?

**Rio DiNero** · 02-03-11, 07:42 PM

May sure you deduct the losses from those "Rubberband Plays," I'm sure that will yield you a heftier return.

**robmpink** · 02-03-11, 07:43 PM

Hopefully you guys know there is a certain % you could claim as charitable donations before you get flagged. Don't know exactly the certain % of your income. All you need is some salvation army slips and such to cover your tracks.

I get a discount on mine being a member of state employees credit union.

**The Seer** · 02-03-11, 07:45 PM

H&R Block on line. It's like 19.99 or something.

**paco** · 02-03-11, 07:47 PM

Every bit counts Brock. It like playing reduced juice or playing -130 lines.

Turbo Tax here as well. I used to run ours through a few different free sites (H&R Block, etc.) until ours started getting a little more complicated with rental income, house depreciation and the like. I'd say spend the extra hour some time and see what the difference is, if any, that a competitor may give you vs. TT.

if you have just basic stuff no point in going to a c.p.a

**geebert74** · 02-03-11, 07:55 PM

Brock, I got married back in 09' and I was not going to get into all that crap so I took my W-2 to a Liberty Tax... I thought they did a decent job so I went back this year. because I live and work in two separate states Turbo Tax said I owed over 2k to one state this year... I almost died. So I went back to liberty and for $300 I got 3.5k back and owed $0 to my state I live in... It was worth it for me to just pay to get it done... No headaches...

I have to file through Massachusetts because of my insurance job. All my clients are still back there and the office is in Boston, which is where my income generated.

Ah. Got ya.

**ngates815** · 02-03-11, 08:07 PM

I used to do mine for free online...now that I have a house, I pay one of my locals guys to do it....last year he got me a nice return. Charged me 75 bucks, and I threw him a 100. Had a good talk with him, and we bullshitted for about 45 minutes after we were done going through my shit.

I did my girlfriends all online for free since she just has the basic W2 and savings interest to claim. She had a few hundred in donations to goodwill also.

This year she'll be going to the guy I went to also. Hopefully next Tuesday if he can get us in.

**Dutch** · 02-03-11, 08:07 PM

I go to a pro and he tells me how much I owe.

**LLXC** · 02-03-11, 08:08 PM

Yup, Turbo Tax.

If I knew for sure they would get me a extra couple thousand, then I wouldn't mind paying some one a couple hundred to do my taxes. But just for a few more hundred, that isn't worth it. I just don't see them getting me an extra thousand or two.

**Muscles** · 02-03-11, 08:18 PM

I just got the basic Turbo Tax with some friends and we all split the cost since you can e-file up to 5 federal returns on it for free...All of ours are pretty easy though, so I'd upgrade if you got some crazy stuff going on.

**EDDIE MONEY LINE** · 02-03-11, 08:23 PM

I work part time at a Liberty Tax...we'll def. take care of you and make sure you don't miss anything. We'll do everything possible to maximize ur return. Def. a good investment, and stress free

I filed my own taxes yesterday

**GELATINOUS CUBE** · 02-03-11, 08:27 PM

do i know you??

j/k

**Jnas** · 02-03-11, 08:27 PM

Turbo Tax, But if you got a lot of stuff a professional is definately worthwhile.

**jonmic** · 02-03-11, 08:35 PM

I use Pro Series, simple to use and much better than Turbo

**Snowball** · 02-03-11, 08:42 PM

i haven't filed 2008,2009, or 2010 yet.

when i was late for 2007 it took them 18 months to write me
saying "what's up"..

haven't heard from them again yet.

but i already know i don't owe anything.

**blackbeSSt** · 02-03-11, 08:47 PM

tt here too.

damn it feels good this time each year to have that number fly up past $5,xxx with a kid!!

will almost doubly fly up more next year with another one due this july

**zam77** · 02-03-11, 09:00 PM

cpa... married, have 3 kids, own a house, have college interest loan right off, among other things and still end up owing at least 7k a year, because i never put enough money aside. hardest thing to do when your self employed.

tax act ... $13.95 e-file for state and Fed .. early bird price.
