Here's part 5 of a 15-point tax checklist from Money Central:
Get help. You might remove a splinter from your own finger, but you wouldn't perform major heart surgery on yourself. A trip to a tax professional should at least tell you what you're missing. Don't hesitate to ask for help; it's deductible! But call for an appointment now! The later your accountant does your return, the more tired that tax preparer will be. You want your return done when she's at her best.
Personally, I use a CPA to do my taxes. If you think you might need help too, check out Need Help this Tax Season? and 3 Keys to Choosing the Best Tax Pro for some helpful information .
FMF recommends: H&R Block. Do it yourself or have us do it. It's never been easier.
