Income Taxes

Since HR Block stands behind their "best return eva" deal. I'm going to give them a try this year. Last year I got a letter from Sam saying I owed $13K. That was because my accountant for the last 5 years forgot to say that I actually took a loss when i dabbled in the market the year before.

Hopefully we'll get more back than last year but I doubt it since we (my wife and I) have double dipped (severance and unemployment benefits). W/out paying taxes on the benefits.

We'll see.

Turbo Tax will do just as good and cost about $200 less. Unless your taxes are really complex or something.

Turbo Tax is what I've used for the last 2 years. It works perfect for me.

I have been using Turbo Tax and/or TaxAct for the past 10 years.

I use TaxAct online. Completely free to file to federal. Costs like 9 dollars or something for state. Great to use if you don't itemize and are single and stuff.

Very...
Rental property income/expenses, short term stock gains and losses (mostly losses), and started a new business last year (more expenses).

Don't know what's deductable and what is. Will leave it to the tax man.
