To do your own taxes you need minimal training just basic math skills. In particular, the tax preparation software like Turbotax and Taxcut walk you through the form step-by-step so all you really have to do is answer yes/no questions and type in numbers. The programs will do the calculations for you and maximize your returns.

Doing taxes is a simple task, though anxiety may arise from confusing forms or accounting jargon. Basic math and organization is the only training an adult needs to file taxes, though there are numerous books and online resources that aid in the process.
