Does anyone have a comparison between this and turbotax? I know there are some ethical issues w/ turbotax but the price relative to peace of mind is not that big of an issue and the guide-through UI does provide a lot of time savings relative to say filling out the raw forms.

e.g. part of me believes that due to the lobbying etc, returns that come through turbotax have a lower rate of auditing or sth.



You can run your taxes in both (or redo last year's in FTU) and compare.

I think the wording on some of the questions it asks you are slightly different, so it may get a bit of a different answer on some things. Would have to compare to the IRS documents itself to see which is "right".
