    It isn’t even that complex if you are doing basic forms. Literally plug in numbers from a document that gets mailed to you January 15.

    These are just private companies that typically fleece you out of a percentage of your income tax return.

    My ex made us file taxes using “experts” for 17 years, even though I proved to her I could do it myself, and came up with the same numbers the “experts” did, because “they insure you if something goes wrong”

    It’s a scam. TurboTax, Jackson Hewitt, it’s a scam
