tax preparer in the area?
I can't get a decent rec. and I don't really want to go to H&R block. Anyone use someone in CC that they like?

With TurboTax Deluxe, you get their Deduction Finder, plus the state and federal programs all for under $40... Well worth it, and you get your refund (if you are getting a refund) directly deposited in less than 10 days. We have a lot of itemized deductions, loans, housing & travel expenses, etc- once I gather all the documents and receipts I can crank through it all in about 90 minutes or so... Plus any deductions under $250 you do not need to present receipts for...

I've used turbo tax for years. I'm sick of using it and want to try and see what a pro can do. I have some deductions that ttax and their ilk never handled well.
I guess I will try HR and see what happens. Worth a shot once I suppose.

That said, I have also gone the preparer route before with various people who came highly recommended, and none of them were able to get me the kind of refund that I got on my own using turbo tax. Most professional preparers have little or no incentive to go all out to get you the best return possible- as far as I know they all get the same fee regardless of what they get back for you... Some of the "little guy" places can be a bit different, because they have a vested interest in keeping you coming back to them each year... To each their own I guess... I hope you find a place that meets your needs- here are the major tax preparation services I have heard of (although I have not utilized them): H & R Block Jackson Hewitt Or the Yellow Page listing for Tax preparers in Philly Better Business Bureau- Listing of Tax Preparers in Region
