Tax software can sometimes offer an expedient and less expensive alternative for income tax preparation. However, it seldom delivers the long-term value derived from a collaborative working relationship with an accomplished income tax advisor who also maintains professional working relationships with experts in other fields, such as estate planning, retirement planning, or education planning. Many clients who engage the services of Certified Public Accountants for income tax preparation and advisory services realize savings due to rationally formulated financial decisions which more than compensate for the cost of CPAs' services.
