If your taxes are complicated enough to pay for a high tier of TurboTax, you may be better off finding a good CPA. I'm an independent consultant, use QuickBooks throughout each year, and have used TurboTax for quite a while out of inertia from having my data already in a friendly format in QB. I finally decided to give an actual CPA a try last year. Among other things, she has already saved me an order of magnitude more than her fee just by amending my old TurboTax returns. Not to mention the value of the time that she has saved me. I would never go back to TurboTax (or TaxACT or similar) unless I was a straight W-2 salaried employee (and only maybe then).
