m3racer,
My suggestion in life is to develop the saying:
"I like paying taxes."
Really. . .try saying it 3x.
Try to avoid getting an accountant who will offer "creative accounting" to get around taxes. Student loan interest is partially deductible so take advantage of that.
I like my accountants to be old, gray-haired, have coke-bottled glasses with one of those accountant calculators that are screwy, and smoke a cigar (male or female Conservative). It's just not worth it. You don't need a young hot-shot accountant coming in, telling you to set up S-corps, now you are paying filing fees and yearly fees, plus 2 different returns, so you can save a few dollars in tax.
And that's exactly what some hotshots will do.
Remember. . .say,
"I like paying taxes." and tell your acct. that while they look at you like you have 2 heads.
