A CPA will tell you to use a CPA because.... and come closer so i can tell you a secret...\n\nIt's because that's how they make money.  and I'm an accountant.\n\nThe best option, and I believe someone already said this, depends on how complicated you find your tax situation.  If you are single, no dependents, no investments, pretty much no deductions, then use a 1040EZ and file it yourself. You can pick up the form at any library, or now you can print it from the IRS site www.IRS.gov\n\nAs you get older, get married, have children, accumulate assets, etc your tax situation will change.  I personally use Turbo Tax Premier every year.  I think the interview is pretty complete and covers all bases, from stocks to charity.\n\nBTW, Rent is not deductible.

Seek the advice of a local CPA.  Besides the taxes that are due, you'll have to pay interest and penalties.  If you haven'te made a lot of money, it might not be too painful for you. \n\nListen to your wife and make sure you file a tax return every year from now on!

You should hire a tax attorney. Obviously your accountant hasn't satisfactorily dealt with the problem.A tax attorney should be able to resolve the problem quickly, that's what they do.

i think you can go into one of those tax services like at amscot or hrblock with you last paystub and it shouldn't be a problem as long as everything is correct and up to date.

You can only file, this years and 2 previous years. I prepare taxes for low income families in my community. So i know what im saying. Im actually taiking courses every saturday with an irs agent as the instructor. I've done this for the past 2 years.

Either ask the employer for an additional copy.  They are required to keep them or contact the IRS.  The second alternative takes much longer particularly at this time of year.  You can file your return without the W-2 by adding Form 4852 and supplying the info from your last pay stub.  Be aware that doing so will slow down the processing of your return and therefore your refund if any.

Go to H&R Block, they will itemize EVERYTHING. Or you can do it yourself, but you have to pay a little extra online :o)

I'm an accountant.  You can easily do your taxes yourself.  Now that you have a home you'll probably be itemizing your deductions.  You can now deduct your mortgage interest, property taxes, state income taxes, if any, and charitable contributions.  I use TaxAct.  It's really easy.  All you have to do is answer the questions and fill in the information.  And it's pretty inexpensive.  I think I paid $15 to file both Federal & State last year.  Don't use a professional.  They'll charge you a couple hundred dollars AND they'll use the same kind of software as TaxAct or TurboTax.  Good luck.

TurboTax worked great for me.  With a business and my wife having a seperate job I blew right through it.  It covers pretty much everything.  But, I guess it may depend on how good you are at keeping your records.  For you it's going to be best to file married but filing seperately anyway.

File an Installment Agreement (Form 9465) with the IRS.  As long as you're trying to hold up your end, they will work with you.  If you don't do anything, they can squeeze you like a turnip.

A cpa can do it, or jsut a good accountant, or you can do it yourself as most people do. You can find all the forms you need on the internet.

You fill out the form 1040 (follow the instructions).  I am assuming you are younger and the form 1040EZ would more than likely suffice for you.  Fill it out and then mail it to your "branch" of the IRS for your state.

I can HIGHLY recommend Turbottax for this question and ALL your taxes. It will print out all the paperwork for you and you can even send it in online instead of mailing it.\n\nhttp://www.turbotax.com/\n\nI am self-employed and have about four or five forms to fill out and it does them all for me perfectly.\nIt walks you through it and answers all your questions and asks all questions such as "Did you sell any real estate this past year?" It then asks what you paid and what you sold it for. You can answer Yes and see what it does ,if it puts in any amount you have to  pay. This is one great thing about it. You can try different things and dollar amounts and watch and see how it affects how much tax you have to pay. Then you can go back and change it and try some other amount.\nYou can download it online for $20.\n\nI can't do my taxes without it at all. Been using it for years and do mom's taxes with it too.\nYou can also buy it in office supply stores like Staples and Office Depot. It is SO worth the $20!

You can pick from a variety of software packages.  Intuit has a TurboTax Professional product.  There are other brands such as TaxExact and Abacus Tax.  Web search, or go to the local Office Depot, or Staples.\n\nAlternatively, you could contract a tax preparer business to do it for you.  It all depends on what your goals and/or limitations may be (i.e., financially, time, knowledge, etc.)

i have been using turbo tax since the start. before that used software designed for CPA preparers. turbo tax is excellent, especially for newbies at doing taxes.
