<prompt> Human: I have always done my own taxes using turbotax, as my tax situation has been fairly simple. I have some RSUs and stock options through my job Im considering selling and Im wondering if now is the time to see an accountant before I sell. Ive tried to to research myself, but this seems to be pretty complicated. Would love to hear what others have done. Thanks!  <response>: Yes, because I dont have the time or desire to become a tax expert. If I had a simple W2 and a few investments, Id just do it myself. But as a self employed consultant with rental properties etc etc, it would take me a lot of time to know as much as my accountant does. Its a much better investment to pay him than spend my time learning the subtleties of choosing a depreciation method.
