I'm a CPA and looking at the health of my business. We do audit, review, compilation, business and personal taxes. I see all the business side of things doing well, audits are flying in, we get new business clients all the time. BUT what we don't get is the young to mid-age guys coming in as new 1040 clients. The only new personal returns we get are the elderly switching accountants or the guys about to go to jail, under audit, or have screwed up their last 2 years returns beyond recognition.
I'm wondering what is happening to this demographic? So I ask you guys - who prepares your taxes for you? (I'd assume on a do-it-yourself website like this, most probably prepare their own.) If you choose a 'professional' (I use that loosly for the H&R or Jackson Heweitt users) - why do you choose them?
Thanks for you insights!
Just to add a plug in here - In most cases your local CPA charges less, is more accurate, and fixes H&R returns too :wink:
