Thanks for letting me know, Cheryl. This link should work but I've also sent you an e-mail.

I am unable to open your budget spreadsheet. Is there another site you recommend or can you email me a different link? Thanks so much

@dogatemyfinances good point! I should ask around church, it’s probably my biggest social network. I’m sure that there are self-employed people there or people who use accountants. Or maybe some of the people I know there are accountants, who knows?

@Funny, that’s true, TurboTax and the like aren’t flawless either. I’d trust them for simpler taxes, but not if I had a large inheritance, self-employment income, etc.

Agreed: it’s smart to get an accountant to do your taxes, especially if you have more than one income stream. The tax laws are now so complicated, most of us haven’t a chance of understanding them. And I don’t think programs like TurboTax obviate the possibility of making a mistake: you have to understand what the laws and the various technicalities mean to make those programs work correctly. Even an honest error can open you up to fines and penalties.

You don’t need your W2s to find an accountant. It took me a couple months to talk to a friend who really loved his accountant. You have a friend with a great accountant, you just don’t know it yet.
