> I never understood all the claims of “we’ll get you more back than so and so”. If you follow all the tax laws and the instructions, how can you get more back? Maybe I’m missing something when I do mine, or I don’t have anything financially complicated tax-wise.

Well some people can get you more than others. The amount that you get back from the government really depends on how well your tax preparer knows the tax code. Your tax preparer may know of some crazy new rule that lets you deduct something that another accountant may not be aware of. I would be willing to bet that the average person misses a few deductions here and there just because they aren’t aware of the tax code. That is why I don’t trust HR Block or any of those tax prep companies, becuase a lot of their employees are not actually accountants, they are just people that are trained on how to fill out tax forms and don’t really know what they are doing necessarily.
