I haven't gotten my W-2 yet (of course) but I entered as much income and tax info as I could off my end of the year pay stub.

At least I have an idea of the refund I can look forward to.

They took away the per diem deduction for Transportation Workers, but the increase in the personal deduction looks like it offsets the difference, at least for the most part, anyway.

I've used Turbo Tax for years now, and I like the fact that you can always go back and easily edit information any time before filing.

(edit)...OH...and I'm not dead yet, either! I don't want to go on the cart! I'm feeling better. I want to go for a walk.
