I have for several years. When I opened Dry Creek we had a local pro do our taxes but then I discovered Turbo & we never looked back. If you answer the questions correctly your taxes will be correct. I didn't purchase the software but do mine online. My 2.

I WAS AUDITED ONCE AND GOT $3,000 BACK.

I have been using H&R Block's PC software and its predecessor Tax cut for about 20 years. I tried Turbo Tax one year and it was OK, but I went back to H&R Block. Turbo should do a fine job for you, or you might look at H&R Blocks software. For what its worth, I am a retired CPA so I know if something does not come out right on the tax return.

I've used Tax Cut (H&R Blocks similar product) for about 10 years and have been happy. But our taxes are relatively simple with only my straight forward business expenses from my appraisal business, which are mostly mileage, professional dues, and license fees.

Mark:

I've used Turbo Tax for several years and am very happy with it. I've used it to prepare as many as 6 different individual's tax returns (mine, my mom's, and my four kids') and never had a problem.

I don't practice tax law any longer and haven't for years, but I have an LL.M in Federal Taxation, so I am at least familiar with most tax issues that might arise for an individual taxpayer.

I have never tried the H&R Block product, so cannot comment on it.

Rem

Simple tax return though. No second jobs, rental properties or such like.

I just did them manually, filled out the forms and added up the numbers myself.

Now I'm married to a CPA and she takes care of it.

If you don't want to do simple taxes, or if you have more complicated taxes, then TurboTax is a good choice.

To BJ:
I remember when I used to do my own taxes as well. That was when I first started in the working world and before I purchased a house.
To all:
Thanks again. I looked into the H&R Block software. It sure does seem similar to Turbo Tax. However, I think this year I think I will try Turbo Tax. I won't be saving much but my tax guy is no spring chicken. I should have a plan B in case he stops doing taxes for any reason and what better plan than to not need anyone's help? I am so on the fence about this that I even considered doing my taxes on turbo tax and going to see the tax guy to find out if the results were different.
Preparing taxes shouldn't be this hard. I wonder if countries like China and Russia pay taxes like we do here in the U.S.
