I did my taxes on my own in the US for the first time and it was very stressful. I used turbotax because it found more deductions than I could find by hand. I don't mind paying taxes (although I would rather that less of them went to paying for guns) but the process seemed unnecessarily painful.

I did my taxes. (w00t!) I have an adjusted gross income almost 4 times as much as last year, and my total tax (including self-employment tax from tutoring) was less! It was also free, with nothing to mail, even though I have to do a standard 1040 with three W-2s and one 1099. Actually not quite free, because I'm paying the feds by credit card, and there's a convenience fee. But still.
From the post-process survey: Would you recommend this program to your friends and family? Yes. I would.
