Many of you are going to need help with your taxes.

It’s not just about the last-minute things you did to maximize deductions in 2017. It’s about setting yourself up with the appropriate plans for 2018, when you’ll lose some deductions and gain others. Without those deductions next year, you might even have to make larger quarterly tax deposits.

TurboTax is coming to the rescue with a new product, TurboTax Live, that allows you to connect via one-way video to a CPA or enrolled agent. The tax experts can either answer questions or review your return before filing, and even sign and e-file your return.

Many people still want individualized attention from an expert, and now they can get it from the comfort of their home. No more carrying boxes of documents to a tax preparer. You can do your taxes in your pajamas, and the experts see your screen but not you. And you can discuss your issues in real time.

Start by answering some simple questions, then click the “Expert Help” button on your screen if doubts arise as you do your taxes.

After you are finished, you can choose to schedule a review session with a tax expert who can sign and file your return for you.

You get the maximum tax refund and a 100 percent accuracy guarantee for any review that is signed and filed by one of their credentialed tax experts.

You might be wondering about the people who offer this advice through TurboTax.

All are considered company employees, though they may work flexible hours. Many of these thousands of advisers come from the existing ranks of TurboTax experts. All are backed by the TurboTax guarantee and have an average of 10 years of experience, the company says.

TurboTax Live costs $149.99 for a federal return, and $36.99 for each state return. Go to www.TurboTax.com and choose the version of TurboTax, based on your tax situation. TurboTax also will help choose the right product for you. Each program can import your W-2 forms and other tax documents.

There are free alternatives for getting help filing your income taxes, but they mostly deal with the basics.

Most states offer free help for seniors, and the IRS has a free-file program for seniors. The IRS offers free-filing help for those who earn $54,000 or less, or have disabilities or are not fluent in English. (Find more information at www.irs .gov/individuals/free-tax-return-preparation-for-you-by- volunteers.

TurboTax competitor TaxAct offers free filing for simple IRS forms 1040EZ and 1040A. For a small fee, they’ll even import last year’s return for comparison.

TurboTax also offers free filing with TurboTax Absolute Zero for the more than 60 million taxpayers who can file form 1040A or 1040EZ, which also includes free prior year PDF import of their tax information if the customer used another preparation method.

But mostly, this type of offer is reserved for simpler returns. And, perhaps, next year tax filing really will be easier, with the higher standard deduction causing fewer people to itemize deductions.

But the relatively small price to pay for peace of mind in dealing with the IRS may be worth it. And that’s The Savage Truth.
