Should You Get Help to File Your Taxes?

Tax moment is officially here.  But how should you get it complete?  Should you do it yourself or hire outside help?
I have mixed feelings on this subject.
On the one hand, I consider that it is empowering to do your individual taxes.  It seems menacing at first, which makes it experience actually fine to understand it is not so hard after all.  I did my own taxes with paper and pencil when I started working part time jobs in high school and college.
I went to tax store once in my twenties, but went back to doing it on my own when I realized they were just typing in the numbers I gave them.  There are citizens that found it surprising and inspiring that a young woman (well, I’m not so young anymore) would do her own taxes.
On the other hand, I suppose in the importance of expert help.  (How could I not?)  The taxes of a business owner, rental property owner, or lively investor are more complex than a W-2 worker.   A tax specialized can add value by saving time and money, avoiding errors, and reducing the anxiety in the procedure.
Specialized help also ensures that the job gets done – more than one person has “confessed” to me that they filed their taxes late or not at all!
So, what are your options?
