I think if your tax return is simple(W-2 and a couple of interest/brokerage accounts), then software like turbo tax, H&R block will likely do just fine.However, when you get into investments(Real Estate, Syndications, etc), you may be better off hiring a professional.I think it is a good idea to match your tax profile with that of the professional.If you are a real estate professional, work with a CPA who understands real estate taxation.I also think people need to find the right fit with the CPA.I often find small real estate investors try to work with a large firm where their target market might be large institutional investors.
