<prompt> Human: Also, is there a better subreddit for tax questions? rtax and rtaxes exist, but the former is not limited to personal income tax and the latter only has 103 subscribers.  <response>: This years I used a professional to do my taxes, but I also used Turbo Tax, but didnt actually send the return via Turbo Tax. Youre only asked to pay when actually sending it I think other tax software is this way as well. This was my first year doing taxes so I did this for future reference. Turbo Tax and the tax professional yielded the exact same refund amount. So I recommend this approach to try out the software and see if you feel comfortable with it.
