<prompt> Human: Short story. I am 26 years old, and have been doing my own taxes through Turbotax since I was about 21 no real taxable income before that. In 2015, we bought a house and we started renting out a room in that house through Airbnb, which then forced us to start using the small business edition of Turbotax, which costs somewhere around 80 I think. My work has an accountant that was willing to do my return for 100, so I decided to eat the difference and have a professional do it. By the time I realized I needed the small business edition, I had already completed the rest of my return and had an estimate of what my return will be. Once my accountant finished my returns, my return was a couple hundred dollars more than what I had calculated it to be. Needless to say, it is not a question this year if I will be doing my own taxes or if Ill hire someone else to do it.tl;dr Hired an accountant to do my taxes, and the extra money he got me was more than his fee. Plus its way easier. If youve only used Turbotax, you should at least look into having an accountant do it for you.  <response>: If my accountant did it for 100 Id have him do it too. Last time was 500. Which I dont begrudge because I needed his expertise
