Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your method works fine if you have a detailed knowledge of the tax code.  Like many others who use TurboTax, I am not tax expert, but I am capable of completing my tax return.  The combination of me looking at the tax forms only once a year and my wife's ever-changing business conditions (self-employed), it's a matter of due diligence to go through each item to ensure I don't miss anything.
