A few years ago, I almost missed a deadline because I was overthinking deductions and exemptions. Then I tried what many recommend as turbotax, and the difference was clear. Its step-by-step instructions were easy to follow even for someone not deep into finance. I got reminders for deductions I’d miss otherwise, and the final review check flagged a few issues before filing. When I submitted, there were no surprises or follow-up headaches. Filing felt faster and less stressful, and I actually had confidence I’d done things right.
