I don't know how many times I've stopped a roommate from going to some tax place.

"Hold on, what have you got there. W2s and... nothing else. Ookaay, sit down. We've got you a 1040EZ and the direction. No, we're going to do these. It's not going to be that hard, it won't take as long as driving to the mall, and next year you can do them yourself."

Of course, this is my first year as a homeowner and landlord, so I'll be having a professional look into it. Next time it'll jsut be me, of course.

But really, if all you've got to deal with is a W2 and a 1040EZ (assuming you're in the U.S., which Kamog might not be, I don't recall), then there's little reason not to tackle it yourself.

Just be greatful you don't live in Quebec! I filed my taxes a month ago, and in this crappy province you have to pay income taxes to the federal and provincial, and thus, I have to file twice, once to the provincial and once to the federal, it's a nightmare!
