    Having a rental in Havasu and a home in Yorba Linda. No way I could do it myself with all the write offs that I get. $350.00 well spent.

    I am sure your CPA tells you this (I am not one and this is not tax advice ) but if you ever have any problems with your Adjusted Gross Income being to high causing you to hit the Phaseout Limit (limiting your Real Estate Losses) if you do a little planning through you and your wife's 401(k) plans or other retirement plans you may be able to get your AGI low enough to stay under the Phaseout Limit.

    Or..........if you're a "Real Estate Professional" you can also find a way around this limitation if you fall into the AMT category...........again not legal/tax advice but something to make sure you ask your tax preparer.

    I have no doubt that you are getting a great deal but just out of curiosity how many schedules do you typically have along with your return each year?
    • Schedule C?
    • Schedule D?
    • Schedule E?
    • Etc.....


    Depending on how many properties, investments, businesses, etc... Makes a good deal of difference on how much time it takes to prepare a return..........just sayin'

    Yea it does. You should call the narcissist and make sure it's legit.

    It always hurts to pay $350 a year for my tax returns, then I get the call I got today with my total refund amount and I'm thrilled to pay them for their services.
