Free Tax FilingI'm mostly bookmarking this for my own reference but this page will be handy for anybody in the U.S., so I thought I'd share. I've generally paid money every year to file my taxes with TurboTax (which is so stupidly easy to use, even for complicated returns, that I don't know why people pay H&R Block $250+ to do it all). But if you go through the links at the above site, you can get a free federal filing on TurboTax and a ton of other sites (you still might have to pay for state tax filing). Since I'll also be doing my in-law's taxes, this will be very handy. Now I just need to get my paperwork from the department of education and from Google (as I have to claim my meager AdSense earnings as income), then I can start filing this bad boy and (hopefully) get a fat refund to completely pay off the hospital (still owe them money from last year's surgery) and maybe buy a toy or something.

Jake said on 01/24/05 @ 09:15 AM: TurboTax can do some pretty complicated taxes and can handle K1s and rental property stuff fairly easily. It requires their premium version of their software (which is like $60, with filing fees), but it's still cheaper than an accountant. kasey said on 01/24/05 @ 11:15 AM: yea, yea, yea ... easy for you to say. my taxes are something i don't wanted screwed up. :) Jake said on 01/24/05 @ 11:26 AM: I had horrendously complicated tax returns in the past, and it makes it stupidly easy for you to do. I don't really see how anybody can pay folks to do them unless they have a business -- business taxes are a pain, but personal taxes are made easy by many online services. Just my opinion :) monkeyinabox said on 01/24/05 @ 01:39 PM: Turbotax is great. I love playing with the options to see how much my refund will increase if I had one less eye or arm. What if I donated $50,000 to Goodwill versus $50? Great stuff. Post a comment |
