Next year give it to the accountant

So I've been working on my taxes for the past 2-3 weeks. Let's just say, taxes are easy if all you've got is a W-2 and simple 1099 forms. However stick in the K-1 and then another state's business and then the businesses showing losses. Well there's more time to put in then you expected. I had to go through the Tax software a total of 5-6 times to confirm my results. the first time I got a result that I owed Good Ole Uncle Sam a whopping $3600. The second time I tried Uncle Sam owed me $1700 and I continued and plugged and chugged, till I was able to get 2 of the same results. Right when I was ready to file. Get this mess out of my hair, I was informed that I had a state tax to fill out and turn in for the state of Iowa! Everyone in Big T (Texas, that is), be glad that we do not have to do state taxes on an annual bases! It's a pain in the @$$. Just thought I'd share my experiences of doing my taxes this year! Hope you all have a better time. However for next year, I will not be doing it, I will pay for the services and hand it over to the experts!
