Having just come from 2-3 weeks spent preparing taxes, I'll pass on reading Publication 17. From the looks of it, that would put me over the edge. I depend on Turbotax, which may or may not be a good idea, but it seems to ask all the questions that cover my situation, and I'm told that many tax accountants use it. I enter all the detail as honestly as possible and ship it off to the IRS with a sigh of relief at the end of the very painful ordeal. More study and a private accountant would likely save me money but I'm done for another year.
