Fortunately, most tax software programs are incredibly easy to use. Even if you know nothing about preparing your taxes, the question-and-answer format most use will make the process a breeze. The software will ask you a series of questions, you’ll provide the answers, and all necessary tax forms will be completed. That said, if your tax return is particularly complicated – or you simply don’t feel comfortable with the whole tax-preparation process – you may need to continue using the services of a paid preparer. It will cost you more, but nothing is more important than peace of mind, especially when it comes to your income taxes.
