There can be a middle ground between paying for tax return preparation and doing it yourself. I refer to the IRS' VITA program where IRS-certified tax counselors (working in partnership with a non-profit or government entity) do returns without charge. A common instance of this is AARP's TaxAide program. There's no need to be elderly or a member of AARP, though certain income situations are outside the scope of the training these volunteers take.
