Paid $445 last year.
So my taxes are pretty freaking simple. 2 w-2's, mortgage interest, child tax credit etc. Did not sell any investments or do any retirement stuff this year (in serious debt pay down mode right now).
you should at least go back to your dad's accountant, or even better do them on your own.
i have 2 w2's, 1099 income, primary home mortgage interest, charity, student loan interest, 401k, IRA, DC FSA/child care, HSA, rental income/expense/mortgage interest, stock brokerage acct sales/purchases, stock options, multiple years of stock RSU's... etc. live in WA state, so sales tax deduction as well
and i do my own taxes with HR block app. have always done my own. do my mom's. did my step moms. did/do my wife's before we were married, and of course now. etc.
even in my MUCH more complex scenario i dont see any reason to pay someone multiple hundreds of $'s for the small amount of work needed... especially if using an app (hrblock, taxcut, taxact, turbotax, etc)
