Turbo-Taxed

Once again, I was impressed with the (relatively) painless process of filing my taxes with TurboTax’s online service. For my admittedly simple W2 earner’s return, it took me about an hour and fifteen minutes, it cost me $60 total for them to do my Federal and state returns, and my refund will be deposited directly into my checking account in as little as 9 days. They have all kinds of deduction questionaires to find out just how much you can get back, and the whole layout is in simple Question-Answer online format, which makes for a rather pleasant experience, as far as taxes are concerned.

I recommend their service!

They also have little extras (for a fee of course) like Audit Defense ($30), which is basically audit insurance. If you end up being audited, they provide personalized service, correspondance with the IRS on your behalf, advice, etc.
