@Andrew-You are right. It is always beneficial to consult a proven consultant/company for tax matters. Again, very important to know upfront the costs for the same as well as what all should one expect for the cost.

@Rajbir – Anything’s possible. That is why I suggest only hiring someone (or a company) that you trust. And be sure you know up front how much you have to pay the preparer.

@Malena – You are absolutely right! We definitely should plan for taxes year round. And I’m a big advocate of not withholding more than you have to. I like tax refunds, but I’d rather just keep my money in the first place.

Do better tax planning so that you don’t get a refund, which is basically an interest-free loan to the government, and maximize the taxes you must pay to the extent possible without incurring a penalty. The latter results in an interest free loan from the government to YOU. This approach requires a lot of discipline, but will reap a significant return.
