Question:

Can these tax programs save you any money on the bottom line?
Do they arrange the numbers in such a manner as to attempt some
optimization with respect to the wallet?  Or do they just help
you fill out the form?  If all they do is help you fill out
the form, then what good is it?  I'd rather just try to figure
out the form than to try to figure out the form AND and new program.
