For those who pay someone to do their taxes, does your tax preparer sit with you while they enter everything and ask questions or do you just drop off your files?
The reason I am asking is that I have used the same tax person for the past 25 or so years. She used to sit with you for about ab hour and do everything right there, asking and answering questions while doing them. She was awesome. I refer to her as a tax goddess. Until last year. Due to health concerns, she had all of her clients just drop off her taxes last year and she e-filed them and then emailed a copy to me.
She didn't get mine done until mid day the day they were due. Her communication has always been bad but last year was horrendous and I have lost all faith in her.
I am looking for someone new this year. I am trying to figure out what the standard is. Is it typical to just drop off the files or is it usually a face to face?
