If you plan to do your taxes, I'd get an accountantyou can get a lot more deductibles off then if you were to use software
Whether or not one needs an accountant to do ones taxes depends soley on the complexity (or simplicity) of ones financial situation......
IF one has lots of complex investments, savings, retirement accounts, pensions, etc then yes, it makes sense.....otherwise it does
NOT make any sense whatsoever to pay someone to do the same things you can do yourself.....basic reading, math calculations, filling out a few forms & sending them to the IRS.......
