Since 2001 I’ve been using Tax Act software to do my taxes. They let you download free software that will do all of your forms and then charge you $7.95 to e-file, but you can always print everything out and mail in your forms at no charge. For the first two years I took advantage of the free software and paid for the e-file. The last couple of years I’ve sprung for the deluxe version for $12.95 that includes a free e-file. The free version of the software constantly bugs you about upgrading to the deluxe version. Also it doesn’t pull your information from W-2’s, 1098’s, and 1099’s from the previous year. So for $5 more I get a better product plus I feel like they deserve something for the efforts anyway, though why the IRS doesn’t write their own software and give it away I have no idea.<\/p>\n
It’s nice because I can download the software<\/A> and file my taxes without going to the store, without rebates, and without having books and CD’s to keep up with afterward. They also have an online version that is a couple of dollars cheaper and still includes the e-file, but I would rather have the software on my computer (not that I’ve ever used it again; I print my forms to Adobe Acrobat files when I’m done). You can pay another $10 and get the state version, but I do the state forms by hand since they just use the federal adjusted income and deductions anyway and are very easy.<\/p>\n I just downloaded it tonight and did a rough draft of my taxes. Looks like I owe a little bit this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Since 2001 I’ve been using Tax Act software to do my taxes.
