Turbotax does everything I need. I already don't want to give $180 to Intuit, why would I give $2000 to a CPA who is also helping propagate an industry that shouldn't have to exist? However, if I could first do my own taxes, and then the CPA take a percentage cut of whatever tax they save me after that, instead of charging a flat fee, that would be nice. |

Large corporations will have CPAs on payroll + contract with big Corporate Accounting firms to process their books for them. Small mom+pops will hire their local CPA to do the same.
Which, leads me to an idea a much smarter friend once gave me: the tax code of the USA is centered around and made for businesses and business owners. And a large portion of the entire tax/accounting industry exists to service this need.
edit: also a CPA should charge roughly around $250 for your level of complexity? $2000 is closer to the fees for a small-medium business
