Depends on industry and how experienced you are if filing yourself but generally, if the business grosses over 150k or nets over 50 a tax professional is almost always worth it. They will save you much more than their $1,000 fee.

Always use a CPA or tax attorney. I don’t do taxes nor do I know tax law, much rather have someone guide me and give me the best advice to reach my goal.

Yes, I use them as a second opinion on tax matters and actually have them prep the tax return. I hate taxes so this works for me.

When I use them for ad-hoc tasks, calls, or analysis they charge me $150 / hr, they do my LLC's tax return for $1k.

I’m sending resumes out far and wide, ideally I’d be in a new role ASAP. I’m already starting to get requests for phone screenings so formal interviews will probably be on the way. The kicker is that my wife is 6 months pregnant and our first child is due next February, which is busy season the public accounting jobs I am applying to. I feel like requesting paternity leave or letting them know a baby is coming will make hiring me more difficult. How do I approach this, and when do I do it?
