I filed my taxes yesterday. Well, more precisely, after looking through my already-prepared returns, I sent a piece of paper to my CPA to authorize her to e-file my taxes.
Since my dad is a CPA, I've never done my own taxes. Even though he's inactive, he still takes all my random tax-related forms and organizes and annotates them so that the CPA can do her thing. I wonder if we get a discount because she doesn't have to do as much work as with her other clients.
It was a bit harder to justify the CPA expenditure when I was a college student, but my taxes were actually fairly complicated this year, what with escrow papers, property taxes, rental income, capital gains and losses, etc. I wonder how the US compares with other countries, in terms of tax law complexity?
