My brother wants me to do his taxes. Other than an accountant, what do I need?

Posted by ty97 Feb 10 '11, 08:27

He bought real estate in 2010, so he will have mortgage interest -- presumably there's a statement for this?

What about closing costs, are those deductible?

Hey Ty, wanna do my taxes? I bought real estate in 2010 too. -- nm - ceregon Feb 10, 08:39
do they sell the Turbo Tax or QuikTax type software in the US? -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 08:28 11
- I've used a free on-line version in the past. I'm fundamentally opposed to spending money to file taxes. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:29 10
  - as a home owner, you probably cannot use the free version now -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 10, 08:49
  - um, make him buy it for you...I'm so glad I don't do my siblings taxes anymore -- nm - Beaker Feb 10, 08:35 1

    - I think that would depend on ho complicated your taxes are to begin with, no? -- nm - znufrii Feb 10, 08:40 2
      - if real estate is involved, I say spend the money on getting the taxes done. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 08:42 1
        
        there's that, too. - znufrii Feb 10, 08:47
    - So their marketing claims. I'm dubious. - ty97 Feb 10, 08:31 1
      - Well if you're that damn good, what are you asking us for? nm - Jim Feb 10, 08:37
  - (mind you, that may happen in this case, with the complications of a real estate closing) -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 08:29
