I’ve always been that way too.
I’m good enough. I’m smart enough. And gosh darn it, people like me. (SNL reference in case anyone missed it.)
Like TheGooner said… “Get expert help.” These cpa-tax-type-people live and breathe taxes. They spent years learning it, and they do it constantly, keeping up with tax changes on a regular basis.
It might take me 30 hours to learn the answer to a question they could answer in 30 seconds. Yeah, I could do it, but it becomes obvious that I shouldn’t with such an extreme example.
Now, I will install a light fixture in my house… maybe even run a circuit for it, change out switches, or outlets. I have a little background there. There’s no way I’d try to rewire an entire house. It’s not what I’m good at, can’t take the time to learn it, and I risk an entire house going up in flames. Do what you’re good at. Pay others to do what they’re good at.
