I have always done my own taxes. My first wife had a cousin that was an
accountant/book keeper who did most of their families taxes. She was slightly
miffed that I did both my own taxes and those for the business that I was
part owner and sole employee of. So one year I ley her figure my taxrs and I
did as well. She had me owing around $250, plus her fee, I had that I had
overpayed by $1500. So who should do my taxes?
