Have you actually done a large, nuanced return by hand. What does X mean? Where is X in this form? (cuz they don’t use the same name). And do I need a Form 1234-56-A for that?
Like I understand what all of the concepts, but confirming and digesting the rules and paperwork is non trivial. Paying 300/hr for accountants to do it is even more painful.

No, I’m only 40 so I’ve never had to do a tax return by hand, I’ve always used a program.
