The primary advantage of programs like Turbo-Tax is printing out
the forms with your data typed in. I have always done my own taxes
using some Lotus templates I made to fit my own situation, but for the
last few years I have used Turbo-Tax to print it out. I use my own
calculations to check Turbo-Tax (and vice versa), but the time savings
over copying the data by hand to the IRS forms and proof reading the
result is worth it to me.
Regards,
Bob
