A CPA is good if you have a complicated tax issue or question. But, if you hire a CPA firm to do a simple tax return, the CPA will not complete the return. It will be done by a non-professional tax preparer in the CPA's office, using a tax software program like TurboTax. If you are lucky, the CPA will spend a few minutes reviewing the completed tax return.
