Taxes...the education
You must learn enough to prepare your own taxes. This is the only way to know enough to properly screw the Feds out of every dime to which you are entitled.
With knowledge comes the ability to structure your finances for the year and a lifetime. You may still need a CPA but you really want to know a decent fraction of what he knows. If you just cash a paycheck forget the above but if you've ever filed a Sch C or SE then this is a must.
