This is a screenshot from a private Facebook group for tax professionals. The person worked for H&R Block, now works for TurboTax Live and is being honest about their skills: NOT QUALIFIED. And this does not even involve business or real estate!

I rest my case.

    As a retired CPA, I saw plenty of tax returns by these firms that clearly were done poorly.  Finding a good tax professional familiar with real estate investments is simply a good investment.

    You often get what you pay for. Cheap is expensive!
