I switched to Turbotax and haven't looked back. In the back of my mind I'm always worried something inside there is screwed up and I'll get burned by it, and I could do without the cutsey "You got this!" animations and "gamification" that has become so prevalent nowadays, but it works quite well for my needs.

They better get this fixed soon or this is going to be a bidding train wreck.

Finally got a real accountant who does my taxes. Pay a few hundred bucks, drop everything in an email, and wash my hands.

You need to cross check your taxes paid throughout the year and adjust W4 withholding and/or make estimated tax payments to avoid a surprise. It isn’t particularly hard to do yourself, but paying a professional for tax strategy and management can make sense. I owe a significant amount for last year because of retro/signing bonus, but knew it was coming and knew I’d make safe harbor to avoid underpayment penalties. I’m happy to let that money work for me until April.

With all the extra people they're putting on SC, more seem to be going to SC. It's too bad we don't get the extra hour whether you get used or not.
