This year I’ll be putting down my pencil and calculator and doing my taxes on a computer for the first time; any recommendations for software I should use? Either something web-based or something that will run on a Mac is fine with me.

I used the web-based version of TurboTax last year and it was remarkably painless. However, I have no spouse/dependents/property/fishing boat income, so I can’t comment on how robust it is for non-trivial tax needs.

Awesome, thanks! I don’t have too much in the way of non-trivial tax needs, but I did exercise options for the first time last year, and I don’t know how much complexity that will add to matters… (I sold them immediately, which will certainly help.)

We use TurboTax. I like the idea of having a backup of the software used rather than doing it on the web, in case I need to revisit the return for any reason.

TurboTax. Whichever version handles schedule C for your options.
