I love TurboTax & Jason

This year Jason and I are filling our taxes together for the first time. I expected combining our tax documents to be an incredibility painful and stressful experience, thus why I created a "Tax Day Countdown" on this blog. I envisioned we would be one of the couples you see at the Starbucks closest to the post office at closing time on April 15th with endless stacks of papers and tired frustrated eyes. But not so, because we have the love of my life, Turbotax…..I mean Jason! Jason planted himself down in front of his little laptop yesterday morning and away he went: typing in info, entering $ figures and answering weirdly worded legal questions. By noon, he announced he was done. Astoundingly Turbotax conducted the appropriate calculations and created the tax form pdf effortlessly. Now if only Turbotax could vacuum the condo, cook dinner and do the mounds of laundry we have been putting off, we would be golden.

Turbo Tax rules! I have been using it for 5 years now. It does the same job our $400 a year tax guy used to do for a fraction of the cost, and it really is no more work for me because I had to do all the compilation work anyway for the tax guy. Turbo Tax and Quicken have simplified my life, but now I desperately need my computer!
