My wife and I tried to use a local accountant to do our taxes this year and we learned a very valuable lesson: DON'T! The way the laws have changed really leaves some investigation and most local accountants claim to know, but don't really understand all the little points involved. We ended up paying a little more and going through H&R Block. Boy are we glad. We are getting bak more money, but they also took the time to explain the changes in the laws to us in detail before doing anything. We will gladly go back to them and have spent a lot of energy promoting them to other adoptive families. Please save yourself a major head and heartache by going with a large firm(like H&R Block)and avoid the mistake we almost made.
