http://www.vouchon.com/tag/savings/ http://www.vouchon.com/post/paying-an-accountant/ It's not cheap but a good accountant is well worth the money. My wife and I have been using an accountant to prepare our taxes since we got married. My wife does a great job tracking our income and expenses and the accountant takes that information and gets us the largest possible deduction.You mentioned in an earlier comment that you're self-employed and this does complicate things a bit - because it gives you more options for deductions and structuring. Our cpa charges between $200-$300 to prepare our taxes each year.Besides that, if you plan to stay in business for yourself, you need an accountant you can trust. S/he will be able to help structure your business on the front end so that you save the most on taxes, fees, expenses, etc. Hope this helps! stuboo 2007-02-17T05:07:44Z http://www.vouchon.com/post/job-change/ You can claim resume printing, driving to interviews, job counseling , etc. If you relocate for a job, you can claim movers, storage and the like. I just filed and raised my refund a hefty amount with self-paid relocation costs. Going back to school helps too. lakers08 2007-02-15T21:53:49Z
