Not everyone needs professional
help to file their tax returns. Many
people, though, still pay for help.
But who should file your returns?
And how much will it cost?
"Unfortunately, filing a tax
return can be a daunting and com
plicating process," said Michael
Rupured, a consumer economics
specialist with the University of
Georgia College of Family and
Consumer Sciences. "The vast
majority of people do turn to some
kind of preparation assistance."
Shop around
Rupured urges people to shop
around.
"I think it's important," he said.
"There are differences in paid pre
parers. Some are large, commercial
preparers, national organizations
that do a lot of advertising. And
some are mom-and- pop operations.
Their qualifications may vary."
Rupured said there are things to
look for when deciding on a prepa
ration service.
Check qualifications
and rates
"First, find out the qualifications
of the individuals who will be doing
your return," he said. "However,
most companies use computer soft
ware that makes it very difficult for
them to make a mistake."
He said it's also important to
check rates.
"The company may charge you a
different fee for each form you're
required to fill out," he said. "There
may also be an additional charge if
you want to e-file, electronically
file your return."
Another cost to watch out for is
associated with refund anticipation
loans. Rupured said some compa
nies will lend a customer money in
the amount of the refund so the cus
tomer doesn't have to wait for the
Internal Revenue Service.
"Now, if you file your return
electronically, you can arrange for

direct deposit of your refund into
your checking or savings account,"
he said.
"If that return is transmitted elec
tronically to the IRS by 11 a.m. on
Thursday," he said, "the IRS prom
ises your return will be credited to
your bank account no later than the
following Friday (assuming there
are no problems with the return).
That being the case, there is no rea
son you should pay a couple hun
dred extra dollars for a refund antic
ipation loan."
Free tax services
Free tax help is available for the
elderly and those with modest
incomes.
"Tax Counseling for the Elderly
is a partnership program between
the IRS and AARP," Rupured said.
"It offers free tax return assistance
for senior citizens."
There is also the Volunteer
Income tax Assistance Program, or
VITA. It provides free tax help to
low- or moderate-income families.
In general, if your income is less
than $40,000, you will qualify for
services. To find the nearest site to
you, call the IRS at 1-800-829-
1040.
Do it yourself
"Very few people are comfort
able filling out their tax returns on
their own," Rupured said. "Tax laws
are complicated, and people are
afraid of making a mistake. Tax
professionals can certainly be a
valuable resource in those situa
tions. But everyone doesn't need to
go to a paid professional to file their
returns."
If you do feel comfortable filing
your own taxes, there are several
ways to use your personal computer
to file.
"The first way is to use some
type of software package that
allows you to do that," he said.
"Another way is to go to a Web site.
A number of the larger commercial
preparation services have a Web
site where you can actually go and
enter your return on-line. Of course,
there's a fee for this service."
