I’m thinking of doing my taxes this year. I plan to buy Turbo Tax, and a book called 1001 Tax Deductibles and research which ones I am elegible for… but is it better for a professional to do it?

I have asked a similar question a few times, and I wanted to clarify my situation in the hopes of being able to get the most accurate answer. I was hired to work as a secretary for 40 hours a week at a rate of 8 dollars an hour. My employer told me that I will need to do my own taxes, and she will not deduct them for me. I will not be filling out a W4 form at work. I was told that I would need to pay my taxes quarterly. This is brand new to me, and I am worried. I am trying to figure out how much money I will need to take out of each weekly pay check so that I don’t get into a situation of owing more taxes than I can afford to pay. My husband is not working, and we are on a very tight budget. I need to know how much to save each week for taxes, because every penny counts!

I have good credit, always paid my bills on time (or at least the minimum), and have been a loyal customer for years. I have some debt right now though, and the interest charges are adding up.
Such as:
- my credit score being lowered
- my credit card company putting me on some kind of “strings attached” list
- certain good features of my credit card being revoked
Or is it all a “no strings attached” complimentary service that they can do?
Thank you.
