Don't waste your money @ H&R Block or with Tax software you buy from the store. I've used esmarttax.com (http://www.esmarttax.com) last year and it is free for Federal returns only (which is all us Floridians need). I don't know if I can use it again this year because I need to file a Schedule A and I'm not seeing how to do it on their site, but if your just doing a 1040EZ, 1040A, or 1040, you can do it free online.
-edit-
Ok I got it to work with a Schedule A/B, had to choose 1040 and it was further in than I expected to choose that.

Don't forget you can claim sales tax on your vehicles (http://www.irs.gov/newsroom/article/0,,id=152316,00.html) if purchased in 2005. So my mortgage interest, car and motorcycle sales tax pushed me over the single head of household standard deduction. I'm no tax wiz, but I'll try and help those that need it (via PM).
