I appreciate the option to do this myself, but the fees are getting ridiculous, with regular fees to enter the data and file for state and federal plus the fees for direct deposit, plus fees for early release that is not avoidable if you want the direct deposit. Just feels like they are getting a bit crazy, but no surprise this company like the rest wants their piece of the pie to increase with the cost of living while wages are mostly stagnant!
I have used TurboTax for several years. I find the online program to be very user friendly. TurboTax reviews all possible scenarios of income and deductions, including uncommon situations. It saves money and time. I will continue to use TurboTax every year that it is available.
