Should You Use a Tax Pro or File Yourself?
Every tax season, people ask whether it is better to file on their own or hire a professional. The answer depends on complexity, time, and your comfort with the rules.
When filing yourself can work well
- Your income is mostly from W-2 wages at one or two jobs.
- You don't own a business or rental property.
- You're comfortable following software prompts and instructions.
When a professional often makes sense
- You're self-employed, run a side business, or receive K-1 forms.
- You bought or sold property, moved states, or went through major life changes.
- You invest actively, trade crypto, or have stock options.
- You're catching up on multiple years or responding to IRS notices.
Hybrid approaches
Some people use software for data entry and bring in a professional for review. Others hire a pro once to clean up their situation, then maintain on their own with a solid template.
