No self-respecting tax agent makes a living from prepping tax returns for people that could do it themselves. Like any professional a good tax agent is going to take pride in their work and won’t want to take someone’s money for something they could easily do themself.
H & R Block types aside, most tax agents spend their time preparing financial reports and tax strategies for businesses. Most firms are pretty reluctant about taking on individual clients. I generally only prep personal tax returns for friends & family of business clients.
