It's tax time and vc2 producer Carlos Aguilar doesn't know whether to prepare his own forms, use the software, or visit the Tax Man. In this pod, Carlos tries all three options to find out which method will save him the most money, legally.

Producer: Carlos Aguilar

    Blah, blah, blah... Yes, yes, yes... but can that guy program my VCR?

    <p>I think we need to rattle the cyber community (the death of the internet cafe), fast food (do happy meals make you happy), and massage parlors (lets just skip to the end). All things I might know something about... 8')

    If you win more money then it worths going to a tax advisor, if not then no because the tax advisor is gonna cost you relatively more...

    This topic has always interested me. I've done my taxes by myself for the last two years while my mom has them professionally done. I think it depends on where you are and what your needs are.

    This pod gave a lot of clarification and it answered a question I have been asking my mom, dad, and adult relatives and friends lately: "Why is doing taxes soooo hard?" Thanks for the pod. It's good for future reference. I ,thankfully, don't have to do taxes...yet.

    Considering that it is tax deadline day and we just mailed off our tax return, this pod is very timely.

    My husband loves to do our taxes himself because he likes to search for deductions in all the tax documents. He says it is the closest thing to finding treasure in our modern times.

    Great work. I liked how the tax preparer was honest and how you mixed in some humor.
