TurboTax doesn't offer good value and doesn't seem to care about the customer or their problems. They appear to prioritize profits over everything else. On the other hand, I prefer using an app like this because I'm not comfortable sharing my information with unknown individuals until I can find a trustworthy agent. As for Amazon Vine, it doesn't provide any benefit if your cost of living allows you to support yourself. The approach I've found most effective for filing taxes with Amazon Vine is to classify myself as self-employed. This way, I can claim expenses related to my car and house, although it still doesn't seem to be worth it.
