I am in no way saying cheat on your taxes. I have been audited by everyone state level and the IRS. It sucks but I had an amazingly honest accountant and I never owed anybody anything when they were done with me. I have done some sketchy stuff in life but cheating on taxes isn't one of them.

Ben, My bad then as I wasn't quite sure what you meant. But what I (and birdman42) was saying is still pertinent and should be useful to everybody, so its all good. Just be careful, and even if you do your return yourself, you may still want to try running a question or two that you may have by someone that knows better. While it may cost you more to have an accountant/tax preparer help you by preparing and initially filing your tax return, I can almost guarantee you it would likely cost you even more to then bring somebody in to help straighten things out with the IRS after the fact if you prepare and file it yourself, but unfortunately mess something up. Good luck.
