Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes I am using the desktop version.  I put in our real name and info in the filing jointly version and it said basically based on the information filing jointly would be the best.  THEN I put in only partial names but other info the same (age, state, etc) filing separately but married doing 2 DIFFERENT returns and it also said it was best to file separately.  (although it was saving us about $2,000).  So all the important information in all 3 of the returns was the same.  That is my challenge.  I hope I am being clear in what I am writing.  We have basically NO deductions being retired and the very few deductions don't add up enough to itemize and haven't for years now.  Sadly I think I have been relying on the wrong tax help over the years.  I want SOMEONE to tell me I have been ok instead of wasting thousands of dollars every year!!  I just wish I had gone through the efforts of looking at filing separately the last few years.
