							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...

							Damn, I'm the only cheapskate here.   
Just to take it a little farther I am perfectly comfortable doing taxes using IRS publications vs Tax software bc I've always been hands on with my income tax. I also think being able to prepare at minimum form 1040 should have been a requisite to graduate from high school.

 Would it be inappropriate to say accounts suck here?

							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.

 Enrolled Agent.  Tax guy.  I don't need audited level financials for my personal stuff.   
 
H&R Block?  Hahahaha.  I've had the same firm for a long time......and I know a lot of firms.  Know a great firm for any situation in SoCal.  If you have a business in the IE, Orange County, and East LA County, I probably know your firm.
