The average national cost to have your taxes professionally prepared by an accountant is $200. Quite a bit of pocket change, to be honest; but, can you afford not to?
The average person is missing well over $100 in itemizations, which results in too much money paid in and too little money received. Quite frankly, not hiring an accountant is just too expensive.
Now that you know what you are up against, here are 6 tips to help select the right accountant for you:
1. Interview your accountant in person]. A big chain will not give the same attention, so avoid these. You might also need your accountant at some other point in the year.

During off-season, you’ll not likely to get the same attention, so it’s going to make asking any questions frustrating and inefficient.
