My accountant just told me he won’t be able to file my taxes on time… advice.
Okay so here it is… I own 2 business. Both had extensions and only by early September26 did I get my K 1s from both companies.
Anyway yesterday I send a message to my accountant to check and see how we were doing with my personal taxes to receive a message that his company was very behind because he is short handed, and xyz employee is on maternity leave and bla bla bla. They will try to get my taxes by the extension deadline but no promises.
It really irritated me.
So I went in turbo tax online and I entered all of the documents I had sent my accountant. I sat there for 4 hours and entered every document I would have had them do. Based on turbo tax we are better doing standard deductions. So 1/2 of my documentation that I had submitted to them is irrelevant anyway.
I am due a refund.
Question because of my business and the K 1’s do I wait till my accountant can do my taxes for a nice little bill of $1400 plus or do I double check my work and file with turbo tax for $250.
I live in Alaska so I don’t pay state taxes.
I also have a financial background so I can follow the numbers and process…
I have always had my accountant file because I wanted to cover my self in case I made a mistake. But I am irritated right now and after imputing everything I swear a monkey can input numbers on the software. There isn’t anything an accountant needs to do expect look at the numbers to enter them properly.
What should I do?
