I'm getting ready to do my taxes, just waiting on one more W-2. I have always done my own taxes in the past..first using the EZ when I was single, then switching to the short form once I graduated from college and could claim the student loan interest.
In 2005 we bought a house, had a baby, etc. I guess that means the long form. I still insist on doing my own taxes, but I'm thinking of getting Turbotax or some such to figure out deductions and whatnot since I feel it's getting a little over my head. I'm also not sure if it's better for us to take the standard deduction or to itemize, but I'm assuming Turbotax would figure that out, right? Have any of you used it, recommend it, think it's a waste of money? It's a little pricey, so I don't want to buy it for nothing.
