Long time lurker but first time poster. No experience with TurboTax, TaxAct, TaxSlayer, etc. $150-$200 is not a bad deal, but you can do it yourself for sure on one of those wedsites.
Most people in your situation (owning a home) would itemize their deductions. Mortgage int + prop taxes + car tags + charitable contributions + State income taxes > standard deduction.

Meh - I paid down my mortgage balance and I'm below the standard deduction now, myself. When I had 3 kids at home, a slew of medical expenses and a high mortgage balance, it made sense. They moved student loan interest to an above the line deduction and that took me out of itemizing (I think).
