Hello everyone. If you file your taxes without knowledge of all the latest credits and deductions, you could get back a smaller refund than what you are actually allowed. You could also end up owing money when you could get a refund. Our new video, "Why Should You Go To a Tax Preparer?", is now on our home page.

In it, we give a few examples of how people can accidentally cheat themselves out of a better return. They do this by either filing themselves or with a corporate franchise who doesn't focus on getting all the deductions and credits they are legally entitled to. You can also view it at our blog site if you want to leave comments or ask questions.
