GiggyZ,
My hubby and I have used Kiplinger's (sp?) Tax Cut for the past 2 years (and plan to use it again this year) and we absolutely love it! We bought a house in 1998 and did not originally realize that points and closing costs paid for by the seller counted against our tax burden (how live is THAT?!?!) We found out when we were going through the different agents in Tax Cut. You still have to keep decent records, but it asks great questions (in every day language) about possible deductions to make sure you get everything possible. Another thing we did not consider was the mileage to and from when volunteering. That is tax deductable too. The cost of the program (about $20.00) was even deductible! I would definately recommend it and given that we got our refund in our account in about a week was even better!
