If you want someone who actually knows taxes to look at it, you'll have to pay a CPA.

You got that right. 5 years ago I decided to have H&R block do my taxes to save me the headache. I had to walk the person through the entire thing. I finally had to scoot the chair over behind the desk and sit right next to him. I should have just taken over the keyboard and done it myself, it was a nightmare. And they charged me $400. Never again.

OMG! $400? That's crazy. Sometimes I get the feeling I'm doing something wrong when I use Turbo Tax. Our stuff is pretty simple, 2 W-2's, statement from the mortgage co., my student loan form, 2 kids. Maybe I'm just insecure or not confident in my ability.

You must have gotten their rapid refund prepaid card.

I used H&R block online. I also checked it against turbo tax. Seeing as H&R offers free audit support I chose them. I did go to Liberty to see if I missed anything as this was the first year with the house. I was able to use the free version to file. Also rather than paying to have my state filed for me I went to the marylandtaxes.com site and filed for free. Took about a week for both returns to show up with no issue.
