8. Mine are too complicated to do on my own.

I have one accountant in Dallas coordinating with a German accountant in Düsseldorf. It takes them about six months to get everything together. I had to sign a waiver for the accountant in Dallas, because the things the Germans wanted to know broke about five US privacy laws, and the Dallas accountant would have lost their license if they had made the disclosures without my written consent. Any US refunds go toward next year’s taxes. The Germans refund when they think there is an error, but then they still want 50% of much of my income that has been already taxed at 39.6% (or whatever the rate is back there) in the USA. This dispute has been going on since 2012. I pay the accountants so that 106% of my time isn’t taken up with this. Fayah shayah, right.
