Where should I do my taxes?
I have always been a turbo tax user. I got married in 2014. That is the only thing that has changed. I'm puzzled as I entered all of our info into both turbotax and taxact and got extremely different results.
Turbotax: No federal refund. State 200 back.
Taxact:Federal 500. State I owe 2500.
I have double/triple checked everything and it is all entered the same... Hence I am thinking I should probably go with a professional this year.
Only weird thing my wife was a nanny for a few months and the family DID NOT set up an EIN and remove taxes like they are supposed to. They paid her cash under the table yet claimed the as a deduction on their end. From what we have read the IRS is cracking down on that. But just like last year we claimed she "owned a business from home".
Last year we both got a large amount back. (separately)
