Folks always push for business accounts, but I find the extra fees silly. My basic budget sheet does the trick without the fuss.

Four hundred bucks just to get someone to fix the mess I made trying to file with that software. I entered the same number three times and it gave me three different refund amounts. By the end I had no idea what was actually right or wrong. That's when you know it's time to just pay a real person.

Yeah, three different refund amounts sounds about right. I'm with @brooke_foster51, my own math skills are bad enough without software making it worse.

Come on @brooke_foster51, how bad could it have been? I've filed my own for years and it's never been a total nightmare.
