re: I found Taxact to be 10 fold better than Turbotax

I think most of the software is created pretty equally. I do taxes and tell most people that unless they have a situation like the above poster that they will more than likely do the exact same job as a preparer by using a computer program as long as they read carefully and follow directions.

I would second what the OP did, if you have a simple return you can usually file for free online with your state's department of revenue website.
