We were talking to the gal, and I noticed that she was using exactly the same software we were using at home! On top of that, she missed a bunch of stuff. I was under the impression that she was just a college kid hired for the tax season. On top of the that, because our taxes were more complex, each form added to the cost, so that the cost was triple what were quoted up front. I don't mind paying to have my taxes done properly, I DO mind bait and switch BS.

We pay a guy about $800 to do ours. Seem to be about the same for our friends.
