<prompt> Human: Last year I had a somewhat complicated return 2 W2s and a 1099 and I mistakenly went to HR Block, who charged me 360. This year I anticipate roughly the same level of difficulty. Im moving soon, so Id like to be able to hold onto as much money as possible in the coming months. Would a pro TurboTax subscription be worth the cost? Or would I end up owing less in the end if I had a CPA go over everything and maximizing my deductionsrefund? I expect to owe about 5k between state and federal on the 1099 income, and i expect about a 1,000 refund on the W2s Which are from the same job.I used to do turbotax or similar software back in my earlier working days, but that was with only a W2. So Im not a complete idiot when it comes to the software. Any advice is appreciated.  <response>: Two W-2s and a 1099 does not make a return even mildly complex. Youve just got 3 sources of income to include and the numbers will run from there. I do not see why you would need anything but the basic TurboTax or similar program, I use TaxCut, for instance, unless there is a lot going on you didnt mention.
