   I've been doing my federal taxes on Turbo Tax for a few years and haven't had a problem. I did my state taxes online this year for the first time and it was easy. My local taxes need to be mailed in because I use the Philly wage tax (I think that's what its called), to offset my local taxes. You can always use the free…

   Mana- I just did mine on Tuesday night via Turbo Tax. Like the commerical says "Its a GPS for taxes" ha ha... No seriously every year I just gave my stuff to my dad and he did them via turbo tax. This year I did my hubbys and mine... I steps you through each part... SO SIMPLE.

   Also, I usually do my federal online but do the state seperately. Both H&R Block and TurboTax charge a large amount to file state and for me, it's not worth it. Filing MD taxes the year I moved from PA was so difficult. I was used to PA's state tax filing which was so simple (for my situation). MD is very complicated. I…

   I love the h&r block website. Not only do they give you an estimator, but it's usually free to file federal taxes. I got 800 more this year than I was expecting. :)

   Usually my mom's friend does my taxes since she does my parents' taxes. But the last couple of years, I give her my stuff in January/ early Feb and it's not done until April 14th. I can't handle that, I'm aways early on things and I want my refund before I go on my cruise in March if possible. FI gets his done free on…

   Do you itemize? How many jobs did you have last year? Did you work for yourself?

   I've used TurboTax for a few years now and love it. I bought a house last year an TurboTax was great at prompting me through everything with that. It even goes through and calculates if you'll get more itemizing vs. not. I also had 2 years with jobs in multiple states. While that takes more time, especially with the state…

   I definitely wouldn't be scared of TurboTax. I've used them the past 3 years in a row, and like previous posters said, they prompt you for everything, so I've found it to be pretty user-friendly. Plus, you don't have to pay anything until you actually file, so if you decide it's not for you, there's no real penalty per se.…

   Oh, and the 1040EZ is free with TurboTax online but if you need one of the other forms search online for discounts. AAA, State Farm, and Bank of America all offer discounts (some you don't even need to be a member for).
