Ouch, you’re a little late in the season for this. Yeah, H&R Block or similar is about the only choice right now. We’re in a similar situation, had them done by a trusted CPA for years, then she retired without offering any recommendation. Tried half-heartedly to find someone else, but ended up doing it all myself this year. NEVER AGAIN. I figured, how bad could it be. The answer: pretty bad.

The most complicated thing about our taxes right now is investment accounts that have foreign holdings; that triggered a few extra forms to note ridiculously tiny amounts. If there were anything really complicated, like income from real estate, I’d have crashed and burned, guaranteed. Go to H&R Block.
