Kinda jumping in here But/

Why pay for tax programs when, for folks who have a basic return, the IRS
sponsors a number of free programs. A person does have to meet certain
requirements, which I happen to meet.
Look on the Net.

Good advice, here's links to browse:
http://www.irs.gov/individuals/index.html
http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html

Unfortunately, many, if not most, aren't able to use those programs.

Good for you, but my return is a lot more complex so I need to use an
accountant or a program like TurboTax.

Wow! Just before I completed my Amazon order I noticed that the state
return is not included. The Deluxe version with the state return on Amazon
is $55 which is $5 higher than the Costco price.

Look at the "other" sellers. I see it for under $47, shipped.
