I always do it through turbo tax and then take it to my accountant. If he can't get me back more, then I just pay the turbo tax fee. He doesn't like that though and I understand why, but I don't care because he also won't give me any guidance when I ask him questions, even if I'm willing to pay. He just says "Bring me your paperwork and I'll look over it". This year is a bit complicated because I purchased a home and also have self employment income, but I may just bite the bullet, do some research and do them myself this year again.
