How do you do your taxes? Do you use Turbo Tax or some other software? I get the tax forms at the library and fill them in by hand, old-school style, rather than doing it online.

We've done turbo tax the last few years. It's nice because it "remembers" you, so it'll ask you about things you've claimed in the past. If that makes sense.
I'd love to use Turbo Tax or one of the chains. With DH's line of work there are too many variables and we have to see an accountant. She spends all of 5 minutes on my W2's then takes forever on his items. She's so sweet but impossible to schedule during tax time
DH did them old school style until he had a traveling job. He then had to file with 3+ states every year so we started with an accountant. We have just stuck with the accountant since then cause we like him and we don't have to worry about doing them.

My mom
Seriously though, she loves doing them. If she were to go to college, she would have gone for accounting. I just either scan in our forms and email them to her or bring them to her when we see her. Easy! Hoping we don't have to pay in again this year. We make like, no money, how can we possibly not be paying enough in taxes?!
We have an accountant. I used to do mine by hand in high school but we switched over the return after we got married as that was the year we bought our house and received the govt $8000. We didn't want to mess that up. Then we stayed with him because we knew wed be refinancing soon from the ARM to conventional. Now its just easier to stay with him.
