After hearing about some less well off people getting ripped off for a
simple online short form and spending $300, JR Hewitt is nothing more than
scammer in my opinion.

Perhaps this will help.  The IRS runs a program called VITA, Volunteer
Income Tax Assistance,
http://www.irs.gov/individuals/article/0,,id=107626,00.html, and you might
find some help there.

In our local area, a rural county in VA, I bet we could find an accountant
to help since I know the local VITA group included some Tax Attorneys and
Accountants.  And if that didn't work I could probably get my Mom who used
to work for the IRS and volunteer for VITA.  I would think in the more
populated Atlanta area you can find someone to help.
