For $150 turbotax filed my fed and state taxes: 1. W2s + bank interest for two people 2. Taxable capital gains of various kinds, including stock, options, and 1256 contracts 3. Self employment business (consulting) with multiple clients and deductions for various business expenses. All of this took less than 2 hours and most of the data was digitally imported from various portals. I'm guessing it would cost me at least an order of magnitude more and take similar time to do it through an accounting firm. So i'm kind of split, on the one hand intuit is an evil company and i hope our tax system is changed/irs no longer uses them/etc. On the other hand I really don't want to spend extra 1k+ on taxes OR spend tens of hours it would take me to assemble the 50+ page return on my own.
