If all of your income is regular W-2 and you don't have significant itemized deductions, doing your own taxes is really quite simple. However, if your employer insists on treating you as a contractor (a pretty common arrangement nowadays, even for folks who are by any reasonable definition an employee) or if you have any interest, dividend or capital gains income (even just ten bucks from a money market), things can get pretty intimidating pretty quickly.
If you find yourself by choice or by circumstance among the "self-employed", I highly recommend you seek out the advice of a professional accountant. A competent CPA can save you much more than the few hundred bucks in preparation fees, in both money and peace of mind.
