Threebeans When I was single I did them myself, as I just did the 1040EZ, and it was just that, easy. Once I was married and owned a home I used Taxcut software or Turbo Tax. That was with my ex, now my new husband and I have kids as well so we just take all our forms,...

Sawsen I don't actually pay taxes as I'm unemployed. However, my sisters used to pay their taxes, and they usually went to H & R block and that worked for them. Usually they got a refund, so I don't think they owed anything. And my brother usually has a friend who...

ladymoonstone143 My husband usually do the taxes after we got our W-2 forms. He just do it online and it is quite easy as long as you don't have lots of deductions, etc. If you have children usually you can get a refund but if you make that much, you have to pay the gov't.
