W2's are in. I plan on using FreeTaxUSA. Not anticipating a major refund because only high-income earners get those since we have a regressive tax system.

We'll file some time in April. Our taxes are always pretty simple but one of my wife's investment accounts has a bunch of foreign holdings and they always take forever to reconcile everything and send out the 1099-DIV forms. We usually end up getting that 1099 about a week or two before the filing deadline.
I anticipate that our end result will be roughly the same as it has been the past decade or so - a small federal refund likely to be offset by what we will out to the state.

How organized are you ? - thought I had everything - but not a valid IP PIN
Do you have all your paper work ? Yes
What online service do you use ? TaxAct
Do you file early or wait until April 15 ? e-filed today
Are stressed out yet ? - Stressed about getting IP PIN corrected, & amount paid in both fed & state taxes, but thinking of the frequent flyer miles gained

How organized are you ? Extremely... I have spreadsheets and check lists
Do you have all your paper work ? No, we are still waiting on a W2 and some other stuff that is in the mail... but we have not received mail in two weeks thanks to the storm.
What online service do you use ? We don't. We have a tax preparer who is out of Michigan and is a hard core libertarian who is hyper focused on screwing the federal government while remaining fully legal... and she charges us $30.
Do you file early or wait until April 15 ? We file as soon as we can.
Are stressed out yet ? Yes... because I haven't received the last of the documents to get things processed!

W-2's are in. Still waiting on a couple of 1099's.
Waiting because:
- Wife gets tips, which I understand are not taxable, so we need to wait for an adjustment to see how much of that income was tips.
- Last year, my previous employer sent incorrect W-2's. I caught the error, but sent in the return based on my correct information, not their incorrect info. Previous jurisdiction eventually sent the correct form out, but the mismatch caused delays. I want to double check it's right.
- Among other reasons I won't get into
