I definitely second this opinion. Ask around and find a good recommendation for a real CPA. You aren't looking for someone to fill in the blanks on a 1040EZ here, you're looking for an individual who (over time) will learn the ins and outs of your personal financial situation. If you know anyone who owns a small business, or is a consultant, or otherwise has been working for themselves for awhile - ask that person. They probably have been through a CPA or two and can give you the name of someone you can trust. Paying a CPA $400 for good advice is worth it if they can save you $4,000 (or save you from an audit). -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:351007 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
