The primary advantage of programs like Turbo-Tax is printing out the forms with your data typed in. I have always done my own taxes using some Lotus templates I made to fit my own situation, but for the last few years I have used Turbo-Tax to print it out. I use my own calculations to check Turbo-Tax (and vice versa), but the time savings over copying the data by hand to the IRS forms and proof reading the result is worth it to me.
