| After 25 years or more, I have severed my relationship with my CPA
(long story). I'm thinking of doing my own return this year. Any
suggestions on which software is the easiest? I have only a schedule
C -- no other income, no investments, nothing fancy. I'm not really a
numbers person but I really think I can do this. TurboTax?
Thanks,
Margie

| I have used Turbo Tax for the past 2 years and it walks you through so
easily. I used to use TaxCut but Turbo Tax has improved to the point where
I don't think there is anything you can miss.
Go for it!

I don't know about the home version of any software, but as far as the
pro versions go TurboTax is by far and away the easiest to use, IMO.
I've used several of them and have evaluated several more but TT beats
them all.

| www.taxact.com is my favorite. I've been using it since '98 or '99 and have
been very satisfied with it. You can either do it online as a web form or
download it as a standalone.

| Oh, and it's free. The program itself anyway. $7.95 for e-file and then
$12.95 for your state program.

| I use TurboTax and have for years. I do my own taxes, as well as those of
all of my family and several friends. It's easy. :-)

I used to use a shareware set of Excel forms (on a mac) that this guy
made look exactly like the standard IRS forms. He eventually gave up
doing the updates each year and I went to paper and pencil.
We do a sched C with no complications and really, it isn't all that
bad. If you itemize it gets a tad more complicated but filling in a paper
form just isn't all that hard. You fill in the same things on the screen
instead and get to pay for it with TurboTax or whatever...
So if you really have uncomplicated stuff, and especially if you
don't itemize, you might consider just doing it manually. You can just
copy the previous year's return, filling in the appropriate current
figures.
Since 90% of the work is collecting all the paperwork anyway and only
10% is actually DOING anything...
