I'm definitely planning on using AI and FreeTaxUSA.com this year to file taxes. I've used them before and I've been very happy. Last year I had a fairly complicated tax setup because of my wife's business, and had a neighbor accountant do the taxes for a really reasonable price, but he sent out a letter that he's retiring, and my wife's not doing that business this year.

I can usually do it in a couple hours while watching TV, but I'm interested in seeing what AI can bring to it. Most of my taxes are just copying numbers from one form into the web interface and verifying everything.

Having to copy data from a form that was filed with the IRS, into another form that is going to be filed with the IRS, is idiotic.
