You are getting too big for your britches...... Next year I will go directly to the IRS.Gov site and file for free. i didn't mind when it was less than an accountant. $178, that is getting too much. I hear other people complaining as well, so schedule a Teams/Zoom meeting and get the talking heads around to let them know you have hit the ceiling on you pricing.
This was my first time fling my taxes on my own after a divorce and a new job and TurboTax truly made this experience so simple for me!! I was nervous and scared and worried I wouldn't be able to do it but TurboTax made the experience feel like I wasn't alone and helped me get a significantly better return than I was expecting.
