I use a pen and paper. It's free.

My taxes are pretty simple, I don't have a lot of deductions I could claim so I use the standard deduction. I file form 1040EZ for the federal and drop it in the mailbox. As for the state, I used to use telefile until they got rid of it. I think last year I filed online at the Mass DOR website, which is also free. I have never used software for anything. I know they have a program now where if you meet certain income guidelines you can use some tax software for free. I tried doing that once but it was complicated so I just did it by mail, and that's what I've been doing since.

Try owning a bussiness and see.

A CPA is always the best. They know all the correct write off's and ussually pay for themselves with the money you get back.

We use liberty tax. Winds up costing us a couple hundred but it's fast, easy, and I get my refunds some next day and the rest in about a week so I deem it worth it.

Used them for the past few years after I closed up shop. And like Don said, try owning a business and see what it costs lol. Iirc we were paying around $13-1400 a year.
