One good way to save is to invite your family members or friends over for coffee or hot chocolate. Now that everyone is together, instead of waiting around for hours in the busy tax offices, your kids can play together and have a great afternoon while the grownups get their taxes completed one by one. Doing taxes won't feel like a burden any more. You will remember tax time as a fun family event.
Not to mention that if more than 3 individuals file their taxes at one location the price will be guaranteed $25/person.
Don't forget to offer a steamy hot beverage to your tax preparer!!!
