TurboTax has been easy to use, I will admit. But you have this impression that it won't cost much when you go with the standard services. "Discounted" basic filing from $69 to $39 but then they tack on another $40 processing fee at the end. Total robbery. Get taxed on all earned income, tax on spending income, etc then get "taxed" to file your taxes that you've been taxed on.
