OT: I've tried both TurboTax and an accountant. Sometimes as a check, I've used both with the same tax year information. Of course, with all the complexity of the requirements/instructions/etc. I get different results. I assume it's between what/where/how he inputs my info. into his computer program, versus what/where/how I input the data into my TurboTax program. These tax laws are just inexplicable. Form 1116 was the last straw for me, and I gave up --- Too tough for me to figure out how to do it on TurboTax, although other people around SI apparently have little or no trouble with Form 1116. Most fortunately for me, my accountant (CPA/attorney) is unbelievably astonishingly inexpensive. Every year I thank him, and tell him to raise his fees. He says he won't, it's not his real source of income.
