TurboTax makes filing my taxes fun. Seriously. I actually look forward to it every year (the annual refund helps).
But TurboTax IS expensive. And TurboTax is NOT upfront about what your actual cost will be (in 2020, they don't even tell you on the "Confirm Payment" page what your payment will be). I paid $180 to file a straightforward 1040 with itemization, and a little bit of self-employment income, with NO add-on goodies like audit protection, etc.
It is what it is.
