No problem well you see doing returns can be a bit complicated you need to be able to pay attention to detail and understand tax law. Like I said if you qualify visit a VITA program in your neighborhood they're way better than H&R Block and all those other tax places. If you're willing to do it yourself then by all means but sometimes there could be mistakes and they can hurt you especially if you owe end up owing them.
