I, like you, am willing to spend a little extra to get it done right. I haven’t filed yet (planning to today!), but I’m going to use TurboTax to do it.

I am also a turbo tax girl. I like the piece of mind I get from all of the questions they ask. The forms are so easy to use. I finished mine tonight too. I am also a turbo tax girl.

Then probably for some of the state ones. I think I can fill out PA on my own and probably DE. But MD will be more complicated. I’m definitely going to use TurboTax at least for the federal one.

Between my various employment and my husband's in 2007, we have eight W2s to file. A mess to say the least. I too use TurboTax and have for the past three years. I wouldn't do it any other way. It makes it so much easier! Your taxes sound like mine! Between my various employment and my husband’s in 2007, we have eight W2s to file. A mess to say the least.

Gr! I've been looking out for them for a couple of weeks now, and am getting anxious. I'm glad you posted this, I always felt guilty for not using software or putting pen to paper and doing my own returns by hand, but I'm pretty sure I pay our accountant about the same amount to wade through my multiple W-2s, 1099s, and sort out the HOH/dependent issue each year. He does give me a discount, so that's probably why it's cheaper. I actually haven’t filed yet because I’m still missing two primary W-2 forms. Gr!

I have dial up so I'm apprehensive. Still, I was among those fleeced by Jackson Hewett last year so I really want to do my own this year. Thanks for the tips on Turbo Tax.

I will be doing my sister and her husband as soon as they get all the paperwork from their mortgage. I use TaxAct.com which is 100% for EVERYONE filing Federal. They do charge for State filings, but I don't use that service. I go straight to the IL Dept of Revenue site and do FREE efile and get the refund within 4 days. I filed our state taxes on Saturday the 26th and we had our deposit on the 31st. I filed our federal on Jan 30th and we should have our refund by early April. We have to wait longer for ours because we have to file an Injured Spouse form. I have a student loan that is lost somewhere in "loan space" so in order for us to get our full refund since DH is not responible for my student loans and he is our only income we file an injured spouse along with our taxes. This form takes an additional 6-8 weeks to process, so we are looking at early April for our refund. TaxAct.com if 100% free and very very easy to use. I have been using it since '01 and even do my sisters and her husbands and they are homeowners. We are getting a nice refund this year which will be used to buy a new computer amongst paying some bills.
