The Pitfalls of DIY Tax Software: Why Professional Guidance Matters

Overlooked Deductions: These platforms may not identify all eligible deductions, leading to higher tax liabilities.
Complex Situations: They struggle with intricate tax scenarios, such as multi-state filings or diverse income sources, increasing the risk of errors.
Lack of Personalized Advice: Automated systems can’t provide the tailored guidance that a seasoned tax professional offers.
Potential for Costly Mistakes: Errors in DIY filings can result in audits, penalties, or missed opportunities for savings.
