Stephen, Besides all the changes in the tax laws, and what is deductible and what is not, especially when it comes to self-employment which is all a minor consideration for the rate difference... The real benefit is a CPA can sit in an IRS audit with you and defned your tax return. The pimple kid from H&R Block can not, and you are stuck there defending what the kid input for you.
But, just like programmers, there are really good CPAs and really bad CPAs. When I was interviewing CPAs, my first question was "how many IRS audits have you defended and won v. lost? And tell me what you learned from those experiences."
