My dad does taxes at H&R Block, he's been at it since like '90 - '91. He does get really busy because of all the repeat clients. PM me if you want more details.

contact Tony La at 415-608-1592

He's a good friend of mine and we've worked together for a while. He is certified tax preparer and has been doing it for some years now. He'll make sure you get everything you can and that you take advantage of any tax savings that you qualify for-- beats Turbo Tax any day + he has college degree in business and has studied accounting unlike some of the Big Box retailer tax outlets.

Tony also does taxes for pretty cheap too! He should give you a good rate if you mention I sent you =P

IMHO, AVOID HR BLOCK like the plague!! those people are only working there for the $$$$, they make their money by the hour and could care less how well they do your taxes. Most HR block people don't even have any background in accounting or even a college degree. (Not trying to knock on your dad ZainoDetailer.. I'm speaking bout HR people in general. I had 3 of my friends get screwed by HR Block guys so we don't really like them too much. 2 of them had to pay fines to IRS b'c HR Block screwed up their returns)

You can tell him I sent you.
Good luck!

1 more thing-- forgot to mention, he does it for cheap too! not expensive ! like I said, just tell him I sent you.
I work in the financial services field doing alot of tax leveraging plans (i.e. employee benefit, estate planning, etc...) and I have yet to find someone who is more knowledgeable in taxes then Tony.
Anything he's unsure of, he researches it like there is no tomorrow and makes sure he understands it all so his clients get the most money in their pocket, not in uncle sam's.
Last but not least, he is very ethical. the guy doesn't even drink or smoke -- which makes it very boring at his parties.
