I use Turbotax and do my own taxes. But I did study tax in law school (individual and corporate), and I do pore over tax publications, both online and in the law library, in order to master the fine points.

Your situation does not seem like it would be complex. You need IRS publication 519, U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens, which is available online as an Adobe Acrobat file.

But a good CPA may save you money giving you deductions you never would have thought of. I would ask the people you work with whether they could recommend someone good.

Legislative Sausage, the American Grind

Hi David,

Re: Maybe the accountants and tax preparers lobbied for it.

No maybes about it. Not only do they lobby, they also pay the fees necessary to be able to write their own legislation. Here's a primer on the corporatization of public policy:

Select "Model Legislation" from the menu bar, then select "Tax and Fiscal Policy"
