If you were self-employed and required an accountant for business, that might be a different story but most personal returns are not complicated, and TT couldn't make the tax prep process any easier.

I agree with the TURBO TAX recommendation and I was self employed as a
REALTOR and also had 3 rental properties and it walked me through everything without a problem and the program was under $100. Have also used it for friends and relatives and saved them money. Just have to be patient, take your time, and be willing to do a little research if you're questioning something. But I am the odd ball that loves to do taxes so maybe that is why I find it so easy to work with.
