Hi all,

Some pilots at my airline volunteer to do it for $100, not sure how I feel aout handing over all my personal info to them...
Thanks,

Crickets, huh?
Peoplemover, in the absence of any other advice, Google/Bing "Enrolled Agent" and your city and state. Most are pretty good, primarily because the exam is challenging. CPA's are fine, too, but only if they specialize in taxes. If there's something about your tax situation either doesn't understand, they'll find someone who does.
Letting another pilot (unless possessed of the above qualifications) do your taxes is, in all honesty, really stupid.
Now if you have a really complex international situation, finding a specialist in same would be wise - but most of us in that situation already have the contacts.
The best way to judge is to listen to your gut ... "Do I want to go into an audit with this guy or gal?" The fellow or lady on the crew room bulletin board may not pass this test.

Maybe check this out:
Pilot Taxes - Pilot Tax Deductions - Flight Crew Tax - Flight Attendant Tax deductions - Airline Pilot Taxes - Flight Crew Taxes
I remember flying with Jason a number of years ago. Struck me as a very hard working and honest fellow. I heard from a couple of guys that used their services, and they seemed satisfied. Looks like they've continued to build their practice.
Don't know what their geographic reach is, but it could be worth the phone call to at least get some advice or a recommendation.

I've used Pilot, Flight Attendants Income Tax Preparation - Wolcott & Associates, P.A. in the past and they were great for complex aviation stuffs. I decided that TurboTax was more than enough for my personal situation, so I've switched to that recently.

Asked a buddy of mine with a long history in aviation and he said he uses the people waflyboy mentioned. He said he's moved around the last few years but has done it all online. Looks like the link provides Jason's email too. Might be worth sending an email to get more info.
