    The tax code is like the laws. Written to perpetuate a industry by those that benefit from it. Job security. Like owning the company responsible for fixing pot holes, and having a corner on the front end alignment business, Not only how many pot holes are you going to fill, but how many would you create in the middle of the night?

    I could easily do my own taxes but if I ever get audited I want my CPA to be there for me. So it's cheap insurance...

    I also pay a C.P.A. she checks in with me in June so I can make adjustments. I usually pay in $100.00 to the Feds and get $500.00 back from the state. One year I payed the Feds $1.00 I would rather have my money throughout the year than struggle to yank it out of Some P.O.S. hands.

    Believe 1/2 of what you see and nothing of what you hear.

    It doesn't sound like you need a CPA ....it sounds like you need some protection. I think I have the perfect guy for you his name is Pizzo.

    Well, we met with our CPA today and for the first time in a long time we owe. :( At least it's not too much.

    I forgot to call my C.P.A. in June. I have to pay in because I don't have alimony write offs (which kicked ass) and I streamlined my house so I gotta pay in. WHATEVER no prob. And GRADS if your C.P.A. is your buddy and he or she is Boning you for $300.00 you are getting screwed.
