Intuit is actually a hell-of-a-lot better than the average situation, where most people pay $200 to get their taxes prepared by unregulated tax-preparers at H&R Block or whatever.
Paid tax preparers make a mistake on roughly 60% of the returns, while the typical person only makes a mistake on 50% of their returns.
So... yeah. In any case, I use $20 TaxACT but do miss Intuit's integration with ADP's payroll system and a lot of their databases.
In any case, the $20 to $50 you spend on tax-preparation software is honestly a serious improvement to the status-quo... of paying an unregulated, mistake-heavy part-time tax preparer to do the job for you at roughly $200+.
If we can switch everyone towards doing their own taxes with TurboTax Deluxe edition at $50, that would actually be an improvement. That's the sad state of tax preparation in the USA.
