The taxes, state and federal you have been shelling out on your business have been crushing you. In all the years you have been filing yourself you have yet to receive a Utah tax refund.

You were calculating your federal and Utah tax returns on your own those first couple of years but you were not at all confident that you were preparing them properly. After that you had your brother-in-law helping you but honestly you are beginning to feel he’s no more competent than you, just more confident. If you believe that you are paying too much on your tax returns year in year out it is time you hired a certified public accountant.

## You can pay less on your state and federal taxes this year (possibly even see a refund)

Of course anyone is free to prepare and file their own taxes. There are software packages you can buy, books, and all sorts of instruction available for laymen who want to do it themselves.

If you hire a competent CPA you can be sure that this year you will pay as little as possible and if you are owed a refund that it will be for all that you’re due.

Whether it is your federal or Utah income tax return that is selected for an audit, a good tax preparation firm will uphold their returns and will speak in your stead making sure the ordeal is as simple as possible.
