What is complicated about your return? Did you move for business or work related purposes??? If yes then you need to work out what may be deductible but if it was simply a retirement move it is not deductible!!
Selling your house is a snap with turbo tax...they ask you all the questions and if your gain is less than $500,000 (joint) then their really is no tax involved. when you sell your house in your home state just ask your closing attorney what is deductible and they will normaly tell you BUT the closing statement showing what you paid for your time of ownership is fairly staright forward'. Does MN have a state tax you need to be worried about and if so how does the sale effect those taxes if at all.
Buying a house in TV can be a little trickey IF you itemize! i say that for if you pay cash and buy in TV early in the year you will ave little deductions to consider...if you are taking a mortgage then it gets moroe involved BUT not that compliacted. Turbo tax (or most tax programs) will walk you through a new home purchase .
I would suggest if you are comfortable using turbo tax and after entering al the data still want someone to look at it, ave someone review what you have entered and ask for suggestions for more deductons or where your questions may be.
Again all these preparers use a tax software program very similar to turoTax and the person may not even be the CPA you are about to hire!!
