I saw those when I was in a Dollar Tree here in Sacramento. Not sure
why you'd need it unless you don't have a broadband connection. I
suspect that even if you installed it when you had a broadband
connection there'd be one of those bait/switch deals for the "advanced"
features, just $10 more. Myself...I'll be doing the usual e-File via
one of the free providers listed on the IRS site; so far so good (only
paid a preparer once, HR Block, to see if they'd find more than I
usually do. $40 later the answer was no.).

Not sure about "fair" but I'd think your question (and how to avoid a
$40,000 tax bill in the future) would be better addressed talking to a
tax professional. It sounds like you could probably afford the fee to
hire one.

Suggest to him that you just quit your job....you can't NEED the
money.

There are some underlying issues at work here. Counseling might be
the proper course of events.
