CPA or Tax Software? - TurboTax, H&R Block, etc.

[Robert Leonard]

What has been your experience hiring a CPA vs. using the top-tier tax software from the likes of TurboTax and H&R Block?

As a CPA our favorite new clients are those who used HR Block or Turbo Tax to prepare their prior returns because that means we typically can find something wrong and pay for ourselves right the bat! We amend a good amount of those returns for missed deductions. 

When you find a CPA and they aren't paying for themselves then you should find a new one.
