Using Income Tax Software for the First Time

Posted By Marc on March 3, 2010 @ 1:02 pm

After many years of paying an accountant a pile of money to do my taxes, I have taken it upon myself to do things myself.  Now, I don’t want to have to wade through a pile of books and write the thing out by hand, so I am trying my hand with tax preparation software.

It seems like there are plenty of offerings over at Amazon, and I picked up a copy of TurboTax for myself.  If you are in need of some tax software this year (or in the future if you are reading this next year), then feel free to pick from the offerings below – they are well worth the price.
