Before I haven't even needed that kind of thing...just done it on my own. My dad taught me when I was 14. But what with combining accounts and living difference places and being married--it's crazy. One way I've motivated myself before was by using the return as a kind of "Well I'm going to do this because within 2 hours I'll have 'earned' $x." Or "Let me get back the money that bastard government took." Both ways are decent motivation. :) I’m probably going to be using TurboTax or something similar this year.

I've always filed myself because I thought hiring someone else would just be exorbitantly expensive. Plus it's not that hard to file taxes. How much does a tax accountant cost, anyway?
