Focusing on federal taxes, that means finding offsets for 17 to 20k worth of income. I'm not sure you've answered the question about the value of a professional. Was there a point where you said, e.g.,

"Huh! TurboTax never told me I could deduct what I spend on CDs and music downloads because I listen to music when I walk dogs." or

"Huh! TurboTax never told me I could write off my entire mortgage payment as a home office because I have a laptop and wireless Internet."

Or something similar.
