You give me several choices for completing and filing my taxes. The first choice is "file confidently with an expert for $209.  the last choice is "do it yourself" for $119.  What's the difference.

It is like the difference between using a recipe in a cookbook to bake a cake  all by yourself or having a professional baker come and help you measure the ingredients, follow the directions, and  bake the cake.

There are several options that you have for tax preparation. "File confidently with an expert", is when you have a tax expert prepare your taxes for you(it's called TurboTax Live Full Service). Another option is called TurboTax Live Assisted, where you do your taxes on your own but you can call or chat with an expert if you have questions.  The final option is Do you own Taxes, where you do it yourself without any assistance from TurboTax.

Start here with TurboTax to see your options.
