Taxes
Sounds crazy, but I worked in the tax department of a major corp., but never do my own taxes. I don't like tax law or payroll accounting. I just did research or unclaimed property.
I've had tax accountants so worried, that deductions I knew were legit would trigger an audit (bring it on, I'll win). I've had idiots who tried to tell me income from sales were the same as wages.
Best rule of thumb, the more income, the higher up the accounting ladder you go. Same as a criminal charge. Parking ticket, easier to pay, even if innocent. Minor crime, local hack attorney. O.J. like crime, do what he did, spend the money, hire the best & win.
Only difference between criminal action and taxes is criminal action leaves fewer dead bodies. Just ask Al Capone. (JOKE)
If you don't do it yourself, hire someone good at documenting everything. Then write up reports of the documentation including indexes and any pictures. Works for insurance claims, works for tax problems and medical problems. My attorney was impressed with my documentation of a financial issue he's handling and I described to him a medical/financial issue he referred me to another attorney. Not only was he impressed over the medical/financial issue, but I won my case Friday. Here comes some health care & money. As for his case, we expect to kick ass. Judge at last hearing wasn't believing their lawyer at all.
