Not sure I agree. I'm self-employed and file Schedule C and all that. It would cost me minimum $200 to have someone do it. I get by fine with the $50 package (but they wormed me out of an extra $25 this year). They used to do the county and city forms for me as well, but a couple years ago they stopped that and just give me blank forms. That sucks.
Seems like it would be simple for the IRS to provide software for free, but that will never happen thanks to the lobbyists.
