TAX season can be overwhelming. The constantly changing tax code, piles of paperwork, and fear of errors can make it stressful. While apps like MyTax let you handle taxes yourself, experts warn this can lead to headaches later.

“A lot of people do their taxes themselves, which can lead to lower returns, or worse, costly mistakes,” said David Fitzgerald, accountant and director of Factor 1. “Professional advice ensures accuracy and compliance, ultimately saving you time and money.”

Factor 1, formerly SDP Accountants, has rebranded and relocated but maintains the same expert team and reliable service.
