I'm looking for advice on the best way to do my taxes this year. I've always just done them myself, since they were so simple (I was living at home with my parents). However, this past year, I bought my own condo. I expect this will make things significantly more complicated. I'm wondering if I would be able to use one of the computer programs to assist me in filing this year, or if I would be significantly better off actually having a professional do them for me. Any feedback would be helpful. Thanks.

I like TurboTax. I've used it for quite a few years now and it is SO easy. TurboTax will walk you through the entire process and ask you all kinds of questions...

Worth it, I think.

I have also used TurboTax for years, it find many more deductions than I probably would. Also very straightforward, in plain English. You can find it at www.intuit.com .
