@Opus 17 Yeah, that's what I am trying to get at, and I agree I need to ask what the tax preparer he can do.
The preparer charges per form, so he is charging about $600-$700 for just federal and state income taxes, which is the 1040 plus whatever state forms needed. This is basically just my U.S. employment.
I am trying to figure out if I can do the basics, save the $600-$700, and have him combine it with his work and file the package.
I really don't mind paying whatever for TurboTax if I can figure out an easy way to share my work and save the money. So, I think I have the data file, a PDF, and it's also been suggested that I create a unique tax account and share the login info with him if that works.
