Tax day is next week. Maybe you are among the millions of people who will complete and file the 1040 on your own. Filing taxes, processing photos, checking in at the airport, renting a beach house. More and more we do it ourselves. As consumers we enjoy the empowerment and cost savings. But many checkout clerks, realtors, lawyers and others feel their livelihoods could be threatened or warn consumers could be at risk from bypassing expert advice. How is this trend changing our lives and where are we headed? Is the government embracing the self-service trend or still reliant on bureaucracy and paper - such as that census form you recently sent in? Answers to these and other questions at our upcoming event.
