When it comes to online tax prep, it's important to evaluate all of the options to make sure that you're getting the amount of help that you need for your situation. Many tax software sites are available, and they can be good if you've got a really basic, plain vanilla tax situation. Make sure you take a look at how capable the software is, and what kind of support is available. What may originally seem like a great way to save some cash can get pricey pretty fast when you factor in add on charges like state tax returns, audit protection, live tax help, etc.
What Makes Teaspiller Different?
- Real, live people. If you've got questions, or are unsure about something, you should consider an option that gives you the tailored, expert advice that you need. Teaspiller provides every customer with personalized tax help, tailored to their specific situation.
- Expert help. Teaspiller's tax experts are CPAs and IRS Enrolled Agents with years of tax experience. They're located around the country, and can help you with your taxes remotely (while you sit on your couch...this is a good thing, trust us). Choose an expert who you think best meets your needs and budget. Instead of going through page after page of questions and entering in enough data to confuse a statistician (and seeing numbers in your sleep), check off some boxes and scan or fax all of your tax documents to your tax expert. Software can be time consuming and confusing. We think that your taxes shouldn't take any longer than half an hour...how's that for a coffee break activity?
