It seems that in general like a lot of people on the list seem reluctant to consult a CPA. Probably believing that it is too costly, or thinking that they don't know how to find a CPA that they trust. I have to say that having done things myself for a few years, and then having used a CPA for a number of years - I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend finding a CPA and consulting with them on tax issues.
It does cost money, but it will often save you more. Not just from additional deductions, but also from avoiding penalties. Making your own assumptions and being wrong can get very expensive - WAY more expensive than CPA costs. If you know anyone who's a small business owner, ask them who they use. Ask friends, ask family. Try to find someone you can build a relationship with. You can also go to H&R block or some "tax prep" company, but I have found that having a relationship with an individual pays off in big ways. Just thought I would toss that out there. YMMV. -Cameron -- Cameron Childress Sumo Consulting Inc http://www.sumoc.com --- cell: 678.637.5072 aim: cameroncf email: [email protected] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:333633 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
