Are your taxes complicated or just standard job W2s? Asking because a lot of people pay for tax services they don’t actually need.

Semi-complicated. Multiple sources of income, kids, etc. It's also a time on task issue.

I get that, but unless you have a business you’re just flushing money down the drain. Even when I had rentals it would take me all of a couple hours to fill everything out and cost me around $20.

To each their own, but if you use the same software each year most of it is prefilled out and goes even faster. That’s all the accountant is doing and then charging you 20x more.

I always laugh when people complain about how “complicated” taxes are. You can find free to dirt cheap software that does it for you, walks you through each item, and submits for you. 99.9% of people have simple taxes.
