Request Trucker's Online Tax Service

personally i don't believe in doing my taxes by myself or through any PC program. i go to a professional tax preparer, one in which i have been going to for about 25 years now. his dad started the business, and MY dad was a client there, and still is today, although the "founding father" has long since passed away. this guy knows all the in's & out's of what's deductable, and what's not. sure, i pay a fee every year i go there, but during the rest of the year, his advice is free of charge. also, if there should ever be ANY kind of problem with my returns/filings, he will represent me at the inquest at the IRS.........you can't get that with a PC program, now can you.....?????

i guess you don't get the "gist" of my posting, so i'll say it reallll slowww for you.....

get a certified public accountant that knows the trucking business, and he/she can help you make all the right decisions regarding tax write-off's etc, etc.....

a professional accountant will be a better way to go than a pc program, which can be buggy, written poorly, and have some valuable information left out...........

If you are not up to date on the current tax laws.especailly for trucking. It is best to go to a pro with trucking knowledge. Example, I have been told you cannot write off you cb by 2 different tax people. Now I feel you should be able too( traffic reports, at shippers gate). But according to them you can't.
I may stand corrected,about writing off the cb. I've looked that up. On 2 different sites it states."may be taken off".

 

So do I but a good tax guy will pay for himself twice over. I have used turbotax in a pinch. it's okay but it isn't going to know every situation. Actually the year I used it I got a second check from the irs a few months after my tax return becase THEY found a deduction I didn't file for
