@Lisa132 - here is another idea - the IRS runs two free programs in many local communities. Once is simply called "VITA" and the other called TCE (Run by AARP) . You google both VITA and AARP.
Both AARP and VITA will do 'straightfoward' tax returns for free. There is no age limintation for either program. AARP doesn't have an income limit, but VITA is limited to around $59,000 of income. The tax preparers all have to pass an IRS administered exam.
IT IS FREE
so it's good for those who have simple returns (W-2s, pensions, simple self-employed situations, dividends, interest, capital gains) but at the same time want peace of mind that the person who is entering everything "knows what they are doing".
Might be even better than another on-line software package (even if it is free)
