Deductions & credits

Thank you. I used to do all the taxes myself (all the info is in the publications). Now that I rely on TurboTax, I can't do as well anymore. The computer can only do the forms, it cannot do the tax planning for you. If I had the time, I would ditch TurboTax and do everything myself again. (Or if I had the income, I would hire good tax people--but neither is the case, otherwise I wouldn't be trying to qualify for EIC.) 🙂
