Judy,
I just looked, and I paid $63.55 each year since 2009 for Turbo Tax.
That includes sales tax. And last year and the year before, I paid
$19.95 to e-file Maryland income tax, and I would guess it will cost me
the same again this year.. So I paid about what you paid.
Since you have a house, my guess is that you itemize deductions and
cannot get by with a more stripped-down version.
One trick that goes with all of the tax preparation software is that
they will try to persuade you when you are ready to e-file to get your
refund immediately instead of waiting a week or two. If you fall for
it, you will pay an interest rate that is really out of sight. Tax
refund anticipation loans are a bad deal for consumers, but they bring
in a lot of money for companies that provide tax software. I know that
you will not fall for it, but I mention this for the benefit of others
on the chat and discussion lists.

I have been trying to do my taxes using turbo tax. At the end I'm
being charged $80. for federal and state and a processing fee. What am
I doing wrong? Is there another free tax service on line?
