Turbo Tax, cost like $70 for federal/state(some states don't have state though) I like they file electronically also. Did mine last Thursday night, state taxes already going in my account tomorrow.
I saw that, but not the IRS site directly.The "Free Fillable Forms" mentioned earlier in this thread are part of this.
Tax Act is $13.99. It takes everything from federal and drops it in the state form. I can't file my state form for free. That's only available to lower income filers. So to file both electronically I have to pay.
My total cost for state and federal is $13.99. In VA there is no free filing available if your agi > $62,000.Wait, what are you paying to file for state? We live in the same state and I've never paid anything... I use the free Turbo Tax.
It looks like I paid $7.99 for federal and $6 for VA. Their pricing structure is confusing. Regardless it's a great product.I have used Tax Act for years. It used to be that federal was free and state (MA) was a nominal fee but this year both were free, already have my refunds.
We moved to a CPA 3 years ago. HR had always done ours but the knowledge of their preparers have gone downhill over the years as their price increased. We needed some advice about some things as I am moving toward retirement. Believe it or not our CPA was cheaper, she offered financial advice and we itemized.I am sick of paying HR Block to do our taxes. Is there an easy way to do them on our own. I would have to believe we are pretty boring when it comes to our filing. What does everyone else do? Any ideas? We are moderately intelligent so I think we could figure them out on our own..

Thanks!! I am thinking of using the Best of Both again. I enter information, but whatever I can't figure out, they will do. It's about $90, but last year I think we paid a lot more for some reason!We used Turbo Tax for years. Until one year I entered a mileage deduction incorrectly (still not sure what happened) and we got a $1400 bill from the IRS. Given that our tax situation was changing by becoming small business owners we decided to start using an accountant. Best move ever, especially when the IRS sent us letters stating we owned additional $ two years in a row and our accountant proved that the mistake was on the IRS side, not ours.
