Preparing your own income tax return can be a task that leaves you with more questions than answers, and can do a pretty good job of ruining a couple of weekends. In addition to the benefit of saving time, peace of mind can be achieved by engaging a partner in the preparation of your tax return. A partner that is knowledgable in tax matters and is ethically responsible for assisting with the preparation of a fair and complete tax return consistent with current income tax laws. According to a study released by the US Government's General Accounting Office last year, most taxpayers ( about 77%) believe they benefited from using a professional tax preparer. 

Whether we like it or not, today's tax laws change every year are never seem to get any less complicated. Filing a relatively simple return can be confusing. It is easy to overlook deductions and credits to which you are entitled, difficult to understand the less than clear tax filing instructions.  Even if you use a computer software program there is the old risk of "garbage in garbage out".
