It took me two hours this year, and my taxes are generally pretty simple. I had exactly one W2 job last year, I have a mortgage, my wife does school, I sold some stock, I had some T-Bills, and I declared my wife's education.

I'm not doing anything clever to try and lower my tax burden, it's an extremely straightforward "run it through tax software" process, and it still took me two hours.
