Multiple states are a bit tricky. Every self-prepared return that I have seen that deals with multiple states has been wrong. The federal return was fine but they messed up the states.
$125 for the federal and two states is a pretty good price in my opinion. |

If you are paying $75 for Turbo Tax you are getting a bad deal. Wait until right after the first of the year and catch a deal. Turbo Tax is very very easy. Hey you can eat out for $50. |

Wayne Z is right.
Multi-state tax returns are not straight forward. It's still easy for practioners given your circumstance, but for $125.........I would take it to a practioner.
You might save $50..........but would you know what you're doing? And $125 for somebody not H&R is a damn good price. |

If all you are getting for $125 is fill in the blanks go some where else or use turbo tax. If a preparer isn't asking questions and making suggestions then they are not worth continuing using. |

Yes it's worth it. I have a accountant to do my taxes every year, because I have a business, deductions, and other things. I would rather not have the headache. If you look at it, your only spending $50 bucks for a professional service. |

yeah..if your taxes are very basic then you should do them yourself. |

It all depends on how envolved your tax filling is. If you are single, no kids, no house, than it really isn't worth having someone else file for you.
If you have a lot of things two file than by all means go ahead. |

Multiple state returns can get very complex. Some states allow for a credit for taxes paid to other states.
$125 is a very fair price. If you feel you are not getting enough service, start asking him questions on how you can save money at tax time. That will usually get them talking! |

i go to H&R Block to get mine done and they give you the option of only paying so for standard processing time or 1 week processing time or 2 day processing time and if they mess it up they will pay it instead of having you pay it , it is an option though dont remember the prices for them all it was over a year ago but worth looking into. |

Are you sure he only fills in the blanks? Or does he spend time talking to you each year (at least) so that he can make appropriate suggestions? If he really is doing just that, i suggest going to irs.gov and looking at FreeFile. It won't be free for two states though.
Frankly, two states is best handled by a professional. I think you are getting a great deal at that price. What you are paying for is his knowledge, skill, experience and his up-to-date knowledge of the tax laws for federal and in both states.
I would be inclined to stick with him, unless you are unstisfied with his performance. |

note that the filing fee is deductible. if theyre simple 1040as then you prob could do it yourself and not cost yourself more than you save..if complex then no pay it. |

Taxcut is put out by H&R Block one of the most well known names in Taxes so you know it has to be good.
And it is cheaper than Turbo Tax. |
