Barresi Insurance

I’VE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO COUNT ON THE ACCOUNTANTS AT BARRESI INSURANCE!
Turbo tax vs. Tax Preparer?
It seems it should just be as simple as filling in boxes to come up with the right amount when calculating your taxes. If filing on paper, then follow the directions and hope you got it right. Kind of like when you were filling out financial aid forms when you were in college, it always seemed like those forms never made any sense. But times have changed and now you can fill those same forms out online or with the assistance of software like Turbo Tax or Tax Cut. Surely the software will get it right.
I have been bringing my taxes to Barresi Insurance for the last 12 years and there was only one year in that whole time that I decided to try something else. Upon the suggestion of my uncle I picked up a copy of Turbo Tax figured I’d give it a try. My earnings had been pretty consistent for the years before, so I figured that the amount that I would pay or receive shouldn’t be that different from previous years. However, after submitting the information I had readily available (just my work info), I found that I owed quite a bit. It was then that I realized all of the other questions that the tax prepares would ask me that Turbo Needless to say, I threw the disc away and brought my info to Barresi Insurance’s office. After looking over my work, they were able to turn that amount that I had to pay into a refund. Talk about a lucky break!
That was the last year that I even thought about getting Turbo Tax and I’m not sure what it would take for me to try again. From what it costs to get the software plus the filing fees, it barely costs me any more to have both my wife and my taxes done all at once. For me the answer is simple and I have been recommending them to friends and co-​workers for years. I’ve had friends that lived far from the White Plains office, but would fax or email them al of their paperwork and only speak with the office through the phone and had fantastic results similar to myself. I cannot say enough good things about this office and wish them much continued success.
