Everyone Can Now File Their Taxes Online Free

By Kevin Purdy, 8:00 AM on Mon Jan 26 2009, 23,178 views


You used to have to make less than $56,000 per year to use the IRS' Free File program to submit your income tax forms online (with help). Now everyone can e-file for free this year.

As the Consumerist blog points out, you'll have to know pretty much exactly what you're doing with the right forms, since those making more than the $56K limit won't be given any pointers on what goes where. But if you're a DIY type who isn't fond of post office trips or the back-of-mind uncertainty of mailing financial data, Free File has opened up the doors to any and all. And if you're lucky enough to have a family friend or gracious accountant who does them for you, you can submit the prepared forms at no cost.

Does the no-cost free filing option tempt you to hunker down on your own 1040s? Using another free-file option? Tell us your tax technique in the comments.

Are there any advantages to filing with an H&R guy and doing them myself with Turbo Tax ? I used to think that this H&R guy was getting me back 'extra' money, that I couldn't get on my own.
