If you need help with this year’s taxes, get an accountant. Tax Help USA exists to make taxes easier in future years so you won’t need professional helpĀ to do your taxes unless your finances are truly complicated.
While this site describes the current state of the tax system at times, it makes no claim to be authoritative in this regard. Mistakes will happen, so don’t use this site as a reference for making personal tax related decisions under the current system. The whole point is to make it so a mere rocket scientist can understand the tax code in the future.
