This is why I still do taxes myself, including itemization and SE. Free fillable forms gets me e-file.

If there's ever anything in unsure of, I hire an independent tax person to do it. Then if I have to do it again, I use that as a template.

Another option is a lot of these places allow you to compute the results without paying, and you can use that to check your work.

Overall, a royal pain in the ass, but at least those fuckers don't get a dime out of me.

in most cases it's pointless for people to file their own taxes. governments already n ke their income streams and can tax appropriately at the source. just the idea of people having to do their own taxes represents those "fuckers" taking your time away
Oh, I agree. But at least they can't bottom-line my time.
