Or do you have someone else do it. I am hearing once retired the taxes are harder to do. We, both retired last year and I always did Turbo Tax and am now wondering if I should have someone else do it. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks.

Retired here and yes we do our own taxes. They were even easier to do this time! Done in a flash, submitted last week, looking for our $$ in our account any day now.

We're both retired and we continue to do our taxes ourselves.
We've already received our refunds.

Do you use turbo tax?

I find my taxes are easier to do now that I'm retired. I use turbotax.

Besides the obvious, how would anyone here know if you need a professional??
I have nothing complicated to my tax return, no stocks, bonds, capital gains, etc.
The standard deduction doubled in 2018 for me so I don't even need to itemize.
I use an online program, been using it for years with no problems, knock wood.
If you are getting income from an IRA or have questions related to that, talk to the people holding the investment.
Let me ask you a question. What is harder about doing taxes when retired?
Maybe I'm missing out.

No. I still use a CPA for my returns. Why would being retired make them any easier or less complicated?

Yes, both my husband and I are retired. And my husband finished doing our taxes last week. He also used Turbo Tax. In fact he has used Turbo Tax for many years.

My husband and I are both retired and he filed our taxes using
Turbo tax and we have already received our refund. It took him
about 2 1/2 hours because he said he was having trouble getting
some of the information to load. Maybe a glitch either in our computer or Turbo tax form but he did get it finished.
