I do it all by myself. I fill out the PAPER forms and use a pen and a calculator...
My taxes are fairly simple with just mortgage interest, property tax and state taxes as deductions. One income with a simple W2. It takes me about half an hour to fill out both federal and state forms.
Glad to know I'm not the only one who does them the old-fashioned way.
The irony is that I do taxes for low-income people free at a VITA site (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance). We use the computer with direct access to a program on the IRS site. Even after doing it by computer there, I come home and feel more comfortable with paper and calculator.
