www.irs.gov is a great starting point.
Right on the front page you'll see a link for filing free.
That link leads to a list of companies offering free filing. (Those companies also have not-so-free software available.)
Be sure to look for restrictions and limits (usually AGI.)
You can also find help from the IRS directly.
On
amazon you'll find threads discussing the various programs including problems with certain brands of software.
There were lots of last minute changes this year so be sure that you have the most updated versions of whatever software you buy.
If you have a quick question, feel free to contact me directly. Please understand that I won't be able to recommend a specific product. (I use professional tax software sold to CPA firms.)
Quote:
The free ones are just basic. I need the one that includes Schedule C (business) and schedule F (farm income). I'm pretty sure thats not free but I'll check.
CR or anyone,
Taxes are on the agenda this weekend. Are you aware of any cheap or free programs. I have issues with paying to get my own money, just seems wrong.
I usually do 1040 and itemize. Last year I looked on-line but "chickened" out cause I didn't know what was legit.
Didn't think to go to the IRS site.
