Hey D/FW Eagle people...

Hey guy's/gal's I'm an Expressjet guy living in Dallas and I'm looking for someone around here that does crew taxes around the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. There's a guy in Houston that comes highly recomended but I'm not really keen on the distance factor. Let me know if you have any recomendations. Thanks, Tom

theres these guys called h&r block. they're pretty good at taxes and cheap too. chop chop, only a month and a half left.

Buy TurboTax and do your own. It's not that hard once you do a little research and you'll have a much better feel for how to maximize your deductions and how other things affect taxes.

if you use h&r blocks software, they will assist in an audit versus no assistance with turbotax. but then again, we're regional airline pilots, we're pennies on the dollar for the irs, so i expect no audits.

I apreciate the input but I'm looking for a specialist that is worth the money you pay them in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. I feel like I would leave to much on the table using a generic program.

turbotax is great unless you are trying to maximize your schedule A deductions using your M&IE per-diem and related expenses. I dont think it can calculate that stuff.

you're a regional CA/FO right? we're talking about $500 max difference here. an education in taxes would serve you for life.

Just use Enzi, hes priced well and hes also an XJT pilot. I dont mind paying 150 or 200 bucks to have the peace of mind of having a CPA/tax attorney stand behind me if I ever get audited(which if I did my own taxes im positive would happen). I dont personally use his services because I have a guy who does them in STL, but I live in houston and have them done a few states away so whats the deal with having them done in houston(where you are probably based) even though you live in DFW?
