Default Filing Income tax

What would be the best way to to file my income taxes for a home business?
Should I make an attempt to do this myself, or should I hire a professional?

I was thinking about getting one of those programs to file my taxes online. I have talked to both H&R Block and Hewett Jackson. Of course both want me to hire them. Not sure how expensive this will turn out to be. I am a little intimidated with the idea of doing my own.

No matter if you do your own or hire someone the key is documentation. Keep a record of everything from receipts to a driving log(if you do any driving at all). Be very specific.

A bookkeeper would be the best option.There are things you can easily miss (deductions) and you can end up paying too much taxes.

Yes hire one, because they know what you can & can't right off. You want to keep your business professionally not as a Hobby.
