IRS bites
I owe $18k+. 
I under paid my quarterly payments last year and made more in the last quarter.
BTW: If you are 1099 and/or K1.....DO NOT USE H&R BLOCK or some other cheap filer. Get a tax attorney
I used H&R Block in 2001 and they F*ed up everything. From my K1 to my rental write-offs. They had me pay about $4k over what was due. I had to have my tax attorney resubmit my return. He laughed. You get what you pay for. I would rather pay him, know that I am saving as much as I can, and most importantly DONE RIGHT!
The people that work in these Tax Prep Bucket Shops are not CPAs, Accountants, or Tax Attorneys. They go through some half a$$ed training course and only work for a couple months.
If you have a W2, then do it yourself with some software or just use the 1040ez.
If you have a 1099 and/or K1, sold a house, have rental property, a business, then stay clear of these nincompoops!

I agree...I'd never use the web service for anything complicated. But to be able to do it ALL in under an hour from sitting down to paying, I think it was worth it.

last year my uncle payed $1.2 Million in taxes alone....whenever I think about having to pay taxes...I think of him....and it usually makes me feel much better.....but then again, thats nuthin' when you are truly ballin'.
although this year I am getting back about $1450....so I think a stoptech kit is in my near future.
