Taxes are still confusing to me. So this year, I m bringing in a tax expert to help answer questions from iwillteachyoutoberich readers. Plus, there s a giveaway: 5 people who ask questions will get free tax software and their filing fees waived. This is a special deal for iwillteachyoutoberich readers.

Here s the deal: David Bergstein is a CPA and tax analyst for CCH CompleteTax. He ll be guest-posting a few times over the next month to answer any tax questions you have. David s bio:

Ask a tax question! This is your chance to get free tax advice from someone eminently qualified. If you don t know where to start with your taxes, or you have an advanced question, ask it here ( How do I pay taxes if I ve never done it before? What are the biggest mistakes people make? What should I put for the defaults, like dependents? ) He ll take a look at the questions and answer the most important questions over the next few weeks.

Plus, 5 people will win CCH CompleteTax passes for state/federal tax return prep and filing. (Special thanks to Mary Jung for helping to coordinate this.)

Note: Your question is most likely to be answered if it s general enough to be useful to other people.
