Why should I hire a professional to do my personal income taxes?
Preparing your income tax return on your own can be very intimidating, leaving you with countless unanswered questions. Complex tax laws can turn even a simple return to a confusing one. The ever-increasing complexity in tax laws requires a well-qualified tax professional to deal with your complicated taxes.
Preparing your own taxes can, indeed, turn out to be very costly, as you can miss many of the tax-minimizing opportunities that are known to a professional but not to you. It is just too easy to miss the tax deductions or credits, that may cause you to pay much higher taxes than you have to.
Using a computer software program usually not a good solution because tax preparation is not a simple data entry. If you do not enter the right information on the right spot, which requires expert knowledge, you just turned your return to be a mess.
You can easily make costly mistakes by claiming the wrong deductions or credits. Later, when CRA finds them, you may have to pay big penalties and interest charges, whereas paying a professional would cost only a tiny fraction of that.
You can reduce your taxes through tax planning that can be achieved by working with a competent tax professional.
