Filing Taxes
zaphod:
I ditched TurboTax when they pulled the registration crap on 2002 that only allowed a single install on one machine. If you needed to reinstall ever, you were hosed. That and they loved to throw a bunch of other crap into their install that cluttered the heck out of the desktop. Almost AOL-like.
No idea how much they've improved on that in recent years.
But I could see where a glitch like pin encountered would turn you off on it.

Do you guys actually pay the ridiculous $20 fee to reduce the IRS's paperwork and file electronically? They should be paying us! I will continue to mail them a nice fat envelope full of paperwork until they remove that fee.

Last year I bought a version of TaxCut that included "free" electronic filing...otherwise I tend to agree with your point. I never had any issues with TaxCut, but i've never been a student in Texas either.

TurboTax also allows you to export every form you needed, including filled out worksheets, into PDFs for your records. You really don't need TurboTax itself once you're done submitting.

Same here.
I've used TurboTax for years, but I just received a free copy of TaxCut Premium Federal + State in the mail, so I may try it out. Since I am self employed and have a home office, I'm not sure if this version has everything I'll need, but it doesn't hurt to check it out.

Yup, every year in my tax records I include a cd that has the turbotax save file and pdf versions of my federal and state forms and worksheets along with the printed out versions. I know having a home office is a red flag for auditors, so I make sure to keep my ducks in a row just in case.
