After seeing the boxed software's ad for the hundred-zillionth time during football last week, the ad where they say (paraphrasing) 'This is you not doing your taxes' or something equally as stupid and unmemorable (which is why I can't remember it) I went to their website and looked up what they're going to charge you.
For you to 'not do your taxes' with them, you will be spending a considerable chunk of change.
I'm assuming that you won't see the preparer face-to-face. I don't know if they will have you fill out their paper interview or if they will interview you via Zoom?
If you're going to pay $200 and up, why wouldn't you just use a local Enrolled Agent? Somebody who will be there for you in the offseason? Is somebody you know you can get a hold of when you need assistance?
Contrary to their claims, when it's tax season, you will be doing your taxes whether I prepare them, they prepare them, or you prepare them. There is a certain amount of work that you have to do to facilitate that.
You can go mountain climbing afterward, but tax work is a hand-in-hand process.
I'll do the hard part, but I need your assistance with documents and answers to my questions. Don't let an ad fool you.
Today, I may take a nap. The equivalent of mountain climbing season is about to start for me, and I am trying valiantly to get rested up, but football is getting in the way. 😂
See you soon.
