Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
I've used TaxACT, Turbotax and HRBlock, and I found HRBlock to be significantly less irritating than the previous two.
Also, it's worth checking your state's income tax filing website (should you have to pay state income tax) because they may have a list of filing entities they've arranged free state filing with (generally under a certain income). Oregon does this, and it's meant I have had to pay to file state/fed for many years.
We use HRBlock online too. It's very easy to use, and they remember our information year-on-year so we only have to enter new things.
We use taxact online, but I haven't really compared to others. I find it mildly annoying at times but I've mostly figured it out, so I doubt I'll change any time soon. I have never run into anything it couldn't handle (mortgage interest and normal deductions are fine) though sometimes there were some head-scratching moments.
Turbo Tax Deluxe will handle mortgage stuff, Consuela.
I use my sister. She is an E.A. Certified Tax Preparer. If anyone wants her details, feel free to contact me off list.

Where am I supposed to get batteries for my car alarm fob next time I need them?
Amazon. :)
Actually, as I understand it, they are trying to keep the stores they have left by partnering up with Sprint,so they may not be going away completely.
