I find a lot of times that taxpayers become too comfortable with their existing tax preparers.

It’s always important, no matter how strong of a relationship you have with your tax preparer, to:
1) verify their credentials each year since it can usually be done online
2) ask for explanations on any fee changes
3) ask who will be doing the tax work
4) inquire on any new tax changes
5) double check the return for mistakes because at the end of the day you are still responsible for the return

But as the complexity increased…Well, it’s totally worth the $425 or so that I pay (some of it tax deductible). I do like to stay on top of some of the changes and possible deductions, though, just to make sure I ask, in case. But my accountant has always been thorough, and I’ve been happy with him.

I think it depends on your situation, and whether you have a tax preparer who is up to date, and who you can trust.
