Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yep. Know these things. What I don't know is how to translate all that to the forms. So I buy software that is supposed to ask all the relevant questions and then populate the forms for me. Otherwise I would just get the form for free from the IRS and fill it out myself. I wouldn't buy software that makes me fill a form out directly without mentioning the need to do so. I assume that the software is asking me for all the info it needs, and filling out the forms with my answers, and letting me know if there is a discrepancy.
