I was trying to think of what the benefits were, but I couldn't remember back to last years online experience to make a good comparison. :eek:

I think they just give you more information during each step of the filing process, including tax hints at each step to ensure you are claiming all that you can claim.

I have used TurboTax Web for the past 3 years with no problems at all. With the discounts from this thread, the cost came to ~$20 in California for both federal and state filings.

I think i'll use turbotax.com with the 30% off Bank of America discount.

So, do you think this is the best way to go?
