9 Years of TurboTax

canyonwalkerI'm working on my taxes this weekend. It's my aim to finish them this weekend. If I don't they'll slip at least two weeks as I'll be out of town on a weekend trip in a week.
I'm using TurboTax again, for the 9th year in a row. I quipped last week that it's an abusive relationship partner. It's time to dust off and update this oldie-but-goodie I originally posted last year:
Like I explained last year I'm kind of stuck in a situation where TurboTax does what it does, which is not quite what I want, and no alternative is better. Use another tax prep tool? They're not as accurate. Hire an accountant? Way more expensive, and less transparent. I manage my own investments and manage sales for relative tax efficiency. Do taxes myself? I'm totally able to, but it'll take a lot more time without the automation done by software. So I stay in this bad relationship.
