Lucky me.

When I first started with him I had a very complicated return. These days it's a lot more simple, possibly simple enough that I could do it myself. But I am happy to pay his fee to know it's done right.

As for those who spend hours and hours doing their returns, I always want to ask how much their time is worth? Especially since a professional could probably do it in a fraction of the time.
