1k??

Ours isn't totally straightforward - we had medical expenses that are at the level of being a write off (yay for bad teeth?) and my husband has a business in Germany which we invested money into (and his German business tax return still isn't done). And they want the return done by year-end, after several extensions (held up by the German return). That's why we're looking for an accountant ASAP that we can visit. But I might just re-think that, based on both the cost you paid and ours (which was truly a straightforward return). I also thought you needed to use someone local, since it gets filed with your local authority.

The longer I'm here, the more I realize I don't know....
