Do you use a tax preparer? How do you find a good one? Do they need to be local?

Yes. The local paper did a write up on her and she had a few good reviews. I've liked working with her so far.

I was using TurboTax before but I wanted to see an accountant once I started doing backdoor conversions.

I might do my own taxes again next year, but will probably be back to her when I buy my first investment property.

I think it makes sense to go with someone local so they know state or local laws well. Also nice to meet the person face to face. If not every year, at least the first time.

My home office is NY but I live in NJ and I’m filing taxes in multiple states that I worked in this year.

New York folks:
Are you aware of the CPA exam credit extension to 2021 for NY CPA candidates impacted by COVID19? It’s on a person-by-person basis and you need to request the extension. Has anyone tried doing this yet? Can anyone shine more light on this? The extension would really help me, but I’m not sure what more to tell them in my email than the fact that I couldn’t sit for the exams this Spring/Summer due to test centers closing in NYC.

What is one of the most frustrating parts of being a scientist or researcher?

I'll tell you what it is: referencing!

You have to do so much of it, and it's so annoying. You have to cite your sources, but there are so many different formats for citations! And then sometimes you don't even know how to cite something, and how are you supposed to know that unless you ask someone who knows? And even then, they might not be sure whether it should be an in-text citation or a footnote…
