What age do Americans let pros handle their taxes?

By age 29, you deserve a literal tax break — a new survey has found that the average American lets professionals prepare their taxes before they hit their thirties.

The poll of 2,000 U.S. taxpayers found that at a certain stage of life, more than a third (37%) are happy to just let professionals handle their taxes for them.

And it could be because handling your finances can simply get too complicated the more you age.

Commissioned by TaxSlayer Pro and conducted by Talker Research, the study found respondents turn to professional tax preparers because they've either started investing their money (23%) or no longer have the bandwidth to handle their own taxes (22%).
