For the past several years I have gone with Turbo-tax, have no complaints. About 15 years ago, my wife and I went to a CPA that was recommended by her sister. Two years later went to a different one who looked at our old returns and told us we had more coming back to us. After we moved back to Washington state we looked around for another CPA, had bad luck trying to find one. The first one we called did not show up for the appointment. The second one was referred by my parents asset manager, met with this one gave him all of our paperwork, he dropped out of sight. We still do not know what happened to him or our papers. Decided to do our own with Turbo-tax, two years in a row owed money due to my wife being self-employed and not paying quarterly. Both this year and last, we got money back. I do love Turbo-tax.
