Besides TurboTax, who else does taxes online, both Federal and State?

18. Thanks much for the detail, very much appreciated

That's INSANE!

What is especially distressing is to hear of your difficulties after paying for it ...

For me, pre-pay, after entering some stuff, it gives some summary numbers, that well, it's really hard to tell from those if some data I entered got in there right, was interpreted by TT correctly and all that (sometimes the questions they ask are kind of obscure, and often, it was like I was guessing at what they mean). And what they summed up for some of the summary numbers was, well, a strange choice of things to add up.

But I would know right away it something I entered got in there correctly if, for example, Form WXYZ Line 22 or whatever had $210 on it -- to see that, or any specific line(s) on my return, I'd have to pay for it.

I was reluctant to pay the first 2 years until I was pretty well done and things were looking good as far as I could tell from the summary numbers.

For this year (I haven't started yet, probably won't until early March at the earliest), I was resolved to trust and pay just about right up front so I could check these things out rather than trying to figure out if things were going OK from the summary numbers.

Well, maybe not. This is very distressing.
