    Filing for Taxes
    Is filing for you taxes better to do online or in person at the tax places? Where do you get the most money back.

    I heard the its cheaper to do online and you get more money back than you do if you were to go do it in person

    A LOT depends on the complexity of your return.

    The less complex the return, the more likely filing on-line will get your return done for less cost and with the better refund.

    A complex return requires professional help to make sure it is done properly and to claim all deductions and credits which are available.

    They mean if you have a very complicated return, your best bet is to pay a professional to do it for you. They know how to make sure you're getting the most back.

    If it's an easy return, save yourself the fees and do them yourself online.
