Your tax situation is not very complicated. You have a mortgage, so it now makes sense for you to itemize your deductions, but your deductions are not complex, either, most likely. All a professional is going to do for you is the math. You still have to have all your receipts for everything; he's going to ask you to give them to him. Collecting those receipts is the hardest part.

But you don't have any rental property or income that you're amortizing or tax shelters or anything actually complicated. The only thing that a professional could potentially do for you that you couldn't is realize that something is deductible that you didn't realize, and it's probably very unlikely that that's going to be significant.
