I teach tax law in law school so i know the basic rules although I am not a return preparer. I have been using Turbo Tax for years and not enjoying how much time it takes me to finish a return. They ask too many questions for me and I'm not sure how to skip them although override is sometimes successful.

FreeTaxUSA took me half the time and was much clearer to me -- not to mention cheaper. I balked at using Turbo Tax this year because the edition I had been using year after year suddenly eliminated the full Schedule C. I'm an employee but I have enough consulting income to warrant a Schedule C -- but I don't need a full bells and whistles self employment option for almost twice the price.

And is was great that they could import all my information from my prior filings via Turbo Tax.

I signed in yesterday, completed my return today -- and have word that both federal and state have been accepted,

Everyone has different needs but for my needs this option was terrific. Not perfect -- they did insist that I go back and make entries for things i had left blank because I had nothing to report this year -- and it wasn't clear where the deduction for self employed long term health care went -- but in the end it all worked out.
