He has a much more complicated tax return than mine (which is very basic and straight up) so he prepares everything and takes it to our accountant. We always end up with a WICKED tax return too so I'm happy to hand that job over.

Like, literally sat on the couch and took turns doing the typing and rifling through our files. It only took 1 night, about 3 hours total. But, we don't own our own business, so ours aren't as complicated. We always have enough write offs to itemize though, and that's what takes a while, delight on "Who does the taxes: you or your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-taxes-you-or-your-so#post-714940 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:44:48 +0000 delight 714940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ An accountant. I am an independent contractor so I have a lot of write offs and need help figuring it out. We also have a small business on the side so we find it helpful to just have an accountant do both of ours.

It makes our taxes complicated (to say the least). Eric pulls most stuff together. He's an engineer at heart, so he has a way with anything that requires organization and precision. mole on "Who does the taxes: you or your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-taxes-you-or-your-so#post-714910 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:36:04 +0000 mole 714910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ An accountant. yin on "Who does the taxes: you or your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-taxes-you-or-your-so#post-714905 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:32:06 +0000 yin 714905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ DH handles everything that deals with our finances, taxes included.

It was a good move :) (Our return was 120 pages this year!)

My husband did them himself for several years until we started making some investments which he couldn't handle on his own. fairy on "Who does the taxes: you or your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-does-the-taxes-you-or-your-so#post-714820 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:48:52 +0000 fairy 714820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ My mother used to be an accountant, so she takes care of our taxes. My husband keeps budget spreadsheets, but we both tend to our budget/bills. We have the bills split up somewhat - he tends to some and I do others (even though it is almost all his money). For example, I'm always the one to make sure the electric and car payment are paid and he is always the one who makes sure the cell phone and his student loans are paid on time. Most of our bills are auto-pay though, so there aren't many we have to actually think about.
