    i'll have to look at my last bill, but their services are deductible on next year's taxes.
    An accountant will know the ins and outs of deducting things like internet connection, a portion of your rent or mortgage for home office, depreciation on equipment and deductions of new equipment, all the way to gas, business meals etc. Also it's a good idea to pay quarterly taxes, since all or most of your the freelance income has not yet been taxed - I've been hit for a few grand in taxes which sucked. They know how to legally get you the best deal.
    Oh, someone correct me if i'm wrong, but go to a tax professional. Anyone can give you tax advice, and figure your taxes (at least in my state), but don't have to guarantee any of their work by law.
    A licensed CPA on the other hand will have to back their work legally (if you're audited or something), you're not left high and dry.
