Time and money are the most precious resources for small business owners, sole proprietors and gig economy workers. When tax time rolls around again, it can be tempting to take a DIY approach with software like TurboTax. However, that method can expose you to potential pitfalls and vulnerabilities. What are the pros and cons of using TurboTax versus hiring an experienced CPA?
Perceived cost savings is the primary attraction of tax preparation software. The convenience and privacy of working on your tax returns at your preferred pace can also be highly appealing. However, it’s crucial to remember that TurboTax is a one-size-fits-all tool. Every business is unique, and your specific challenges and opportunities may not fit into predefined boxes.
TurboTax also relies heavily on user input. Without in-depth tax knowledge, you might miss out on significant deductions or incur the risk of an audit. Learning the software’s ins and outs and ensuring you’ve covered all your bases can be laborious. Your time is priceless – what could you focus on instead?
Hiring a seasoned CPA can appear more expensive upfront compared to purchasing software. However, the long-term savings and benefits often outweigh this initial cost.
For many entrepreneurs, choosing between TurboTax and a CPA requires weighing short-term savings against long-term gains. At Clear View Business Solutions, we understand the challenges of entrepreneurship.
