Our tax return isn't straight forward. I still send all my tax stuff up to an Enrolled Agent in Massachusetts that's been doing my taxes for decades ($10 overnight) and then we talk on the phone. An Enrolled Agent is registered with the IRS....whenever the IRS has questions, or if I where ever to get audited the IRS will talk to me THROUGH my Enrolled Agent. If you use a Tax Attorney, a CPA, AARP or anyone else to do you taxes it's highly likely that you (the tax payer) will have to speak directly to the IRS. I've seen my EA in action talking to the IRS, if it had been me I could have dug myself into a hole by sharing what I didn't need to share
