They suggest the 34.99 package still cheaper than Jackson Hewitt or H&r 4951

Turbo Tax will in no way increase your chances of audit.  Turbo Tax is free online for simple federal returns, then they add a fee to file a state return  which, of course, does not apply to those of us living in the great state of Texas. 4951

I just used it again this year to amend my return.  Got an extra $400 back, so I guess it was worth it.  They have good customer service too, I had to go back to see if I needed to amend an old return and they came through getting me the old software.  Very helpful.  I wish they'd just simplify the tax code! 4951

Turbo Tax rocks! This year I had to pay though because I had to use Business and home format. Its very easy to use. If I can do it anyone can....lol They do have an option to buy audit protection but if you are not lieing and trying to cover anything up I dont see the reason to buy that protection. I always joke when Im done and say they better not audit me because they will probably end up oweing me....lol 4951

It's only free to those filing 1040ez or making under I think 30k for single. If you make more, married filing joint, have deductions other than standard then it will cost you.
 
Just filed all of ours Thankful they are all done early this year 4951

@friday1:
I spend the extra $25 +/- for audit defense. Still cheaper and easier than any of the tax preparers around especially some that charge $60.00 per page. Give me a little piece of mind, too 4951

We used to do our own taxes with Quicken and one year we had some really complicated changes to our taxable income. That is when we decided to just use my dad's CPA and have used him ever since. My wife doesn't have the time to sit and mess with it and we always get back decent money. Bonuses from work usually are taxed higher so it's hard to plan for those as the year goes by. Yes it would be nice to not loan the government money and wait for a refund but the reality is most people would spend or use what they get and then owe at the end. 4951

Have never used Turbo Tax, been using TaxAct for yrs. This year's filing was single and over 30K, prior yrs were married/joint and have never been charged for it. I just filed the 6th and the IRS site says my return will be in the bank by the 16th.
