Nope. I have too much interest income, dividends, cap gains distributions, foreign tax credits, capital loss carryover, and probably a couple others, any one of which prevent me from using 1040-EZ. I suspect most here have a similar list. These complicate 1040 enough to warrant using a tax program, but it is pretty quick and easy using Turbo Tax. I did mine in a couple of hours yesterday. I'm waiting to see if any other tax forms come in that I might have forgotten, and to do my review as well.
