Finished the taxes! I have to say, they're not really much more work for me to do "by hand" (using the IRS's Free Fillable Forms, which does math for you) than to do with TurboTax.
Mostly, it's gathering documents that's the hard part, and most of the document gathering is necessary for deductions. However, if you are not a home owner or a really massive philanthropist, your itemized deductions are really unlikely to total higher than your standard deduction, so you can just skip all of that.
If you are comfortable with numbers, and you have a little breathing room in your life, doing taxes without tax software might be worth trying! When you do, you get to understand the structure of taxes a little better, and you don't give money to Intuit, which uses that money to lobby politicians to keep taxes as complicated and onerous as they can make it.
