I used TurboTax for years. Last year I used the free tax prep offered by Square. The result was the same as TurboTax and not any more tedious to use. E-filed with IRS just fine. It doesn't handle everything TurboTax does (for example no Foreign Earned Income Exemption, no partial year state resident returns), so look at what it does and doesn't support. You can usually deduct what you pay a CPA or tax preparer if you need to continue getting professional tax help.
