We might go that route. Last year I sold a low-rent apartment building that I had inherited and went to H&R Block. They charged a fortune which unfortunately we cannot afford this year. Really couldn't afford it last year either but didn't know what else to do.

Also TaxACT online could be an option. All forms are free, not just the simple ones, and people I trust say it's pretty easy.

There are a few things they can't (not allowed) do, rental income, sch c with over 10K of expenses or a loss. Other than those items there are people there that can take care of you. Some sites even work by appointment. Many of the preparers are former H&R or Jackson Hewitt employees doing volunteer work.

Other sites around Chattanooa that provide free income tax services.
