You could find an accountant to do your taxes. It would probably cost much less than you'd make consulting, and sometimes they can find ways to save you more money than you paid.
That's right. I always use an accountant who is a family friend. She charges about $200-$300 but manages to usually get back multiple magnitudes of that back. Plus she's always there to answer any questions about what options I have and what should be my best strategy.
