For how much gross income? UGH! I'm just hoping the accountant will be able to figure it all out; he still has the paperwork, and I'm waiting to hear back. $200, sf? For how much gross income? UGH!

I didn't get one for freelance work and it was $200. Did you deduct any expenses for the freelance work? Have you figured about how much in self employment taxes you pay with the 1099 misc?

It will be interesting to see what he comes up with, and I still have my work saved in the online program. Thanks! (Oh, and I know about the slowness! What in the world?)

I haven't gotten all my 1099s yet! Grrr! I hate it when places are slow about that!

This year I paid for the $10 service, but I don't remember why. I just used the free service before. There were a few years when I tried to just do them myself on paper, but it was too confusing. I really enjoy doing them on Turbo Tax -- it's fun to watch the refund number get bigger! :) I have loved using Turbo Tax online for the last few years.

This year I'm using turbo tax, every other year I've gone to someone to do them. I'm paranoid that I'm going to screw up somehow, but I'm biting the bullet and I'm probably going to review them 100 times before I press submit! I feel you, taxes get so complicated so quickly!
