Filing Taxes
 
In previous years, I've used H and R Blocks online tax program to file our taxes. Probably not the best but it was convenient.

This year we've got a few complications with disability, unemployment and a move (not sure if moving means anything or not.)

Who do you use (or what software do you use) to do your taxes? What are the rates? Do you like them?

Turbotax. Used it for many years and it has done me well.

I too use TurboTax most years (though sometimes I just do it by hand).

Never been a problem. I keep my tax life extremely simple because I'd rather just pay too much than have to deal with anything complex. But a couple years have forced some complexity upon me and it handled everything smoothly.

Since we own a business....we hire a CPA. Been using the same one now for many years.

I've always used HR's TaxCut software (formerly Kiplinger's TaxCut). Easy to use, great interview process to determine deductions, etc. My taxes have included self employment stuff as well as normal employment, with lots of deductions and tax credits, and I don't think I've ever spent more than 90 minutes doing them.

I've used Turbo Tax forever. This year though I'm thinking of using a cpa. I've got all my mom's crap, bought a house, bought a car - more complicated than usual. Plus I have to do the Estate's taxes so thinking it may be easier just this year to have someone do it for me.

My parents have fairly complicated taxes and use Turbo Tax.

I have very basic taxes and use their Turbo Tax too.

Ya, thinking that will be money well spent.

I have used HR Block's Web version for several years and it's worked fine. For context, we own a home, Jen works two jobs and I have consulting (1099) income as well as standard W2 income.
