Is it worth getting a CPA for taxes?

[trjones87]

I've always done turbo tax but several things happen this year and I'm not sure what of these is going to make a big difference or a big enough difference to hire a CPA.
Bought house
Bought vehicle, paid cash (not even sure if that impacts anything)

Turbo Tax, walks you through everything, no need for a CPA. Done my own taxes for 17 years.

You pay a little more for the CPA but its deductible the following year. The CPA can help you find more deductions and help you to get more money back. If you run any type of a business or have any income that havent been taxed on self employment income or contact work then a CPA is the way to go. If you are just using standard deductions then maybe CPA in a box (turbo Tax) is ok

Not sure if the vehicle sales tax is still an exemption it was last year
The interest on your mortgage is a deduction well partial

buy turbo tax, fill out the return, then take it to a (good) CPA.

decide for yourself.

it really depends on your situation -- I can't keep up with all my stuff unless I have someone to organize it for me and tell me what to keep and what to account for.

[Shake N' Bake]
