The only reason I use SW at all is because we pay state tax to NY and NJ, and I hate figuring the credit from one state to the other manually. TaxCut got it wrong one year and basically asked me to do the calculation on paper another. I've bitten the bullet and paid more for TurboTax since then. I figure if I want to save money, I can do it by hand. I’ve used TurboTax and TaxCut over the years, and TaxCut is really slipshod.

Still, I didn't want to... I'm not sure about the actual numbers, but it definitely seemed like more than 10%. But that might be because they lumped them all as 100% net returns from short term investments - that was nice. I did it on H&R's website. It's pretty good if you're just doing basic stuff, but it seems like it doesn't automatically transfer stuff from one section to another. This year I really should use an actual person, but I might just put that off another year.

Owing a crapload of money would have sucked. Investment income from sale (minus all the purchase costs and broker fees over the years) is taxed a small 10% flat tax, right? That's really odd that the tax program put you in for the standard deduction if your itemized deductions were bigger. I'd be pissed at them! Congrats on that.
