I always thought tax liability was just the number on the bottom of my return too until my accountant explained it. It’s really about what you’re responsible for overall not just what you still owe.

The biggest drawback for me was definitely the price. I ended up paying $160 for what felt like a pretty simple return. On the other hand i did appreciate having someone explain why certain credits did not apply to my situation. That part actually helped me understand the process better.

One year i had unemployment income plus a part-time job. H&R Block charged me $140. It wasn’t too painful but i know i could’ve filed online for free.

For a very basic return the cost is usually around $100 to $120. That seems reasonable when things are simple and straightforward. But once you have more complicated taxes the price goes up quickly.

I once ended up paying $250 because of my freelance income. At first i honestly thought it was a rip-off and way too expensive for what i was getting. But when the return came through i realized i got a much bigger refund than i had expected. That completely changed my perspective and i felt like the cost was worth it in the end.
