To be honest we didn't try TurboTax out on the new levels of our financial complexity - so who knows maybe it could have given us the same results. But then we were looking for someone who could also give us other financial advice going forward as far as what we could and couldn't deduct, what receipts or other documentation would be required, how much I should increase my holdings to avoid having to do quarterly tax payments on NA's non-tax withheld income, etc. I think ours also cost in the $360 range.

Personally, I liked being able to do the taxes myself, but when I started trying to interpret IRS rules for our situation, I started to loose confidence that I was doing so correctly and figured it was time to consult a professional (who would also share some liability)
