But you could file your federal return for free. You just wouldn't get the state one filed free, but I believe you get a discount.



Nevermind

Here is another site that lets you file for free based on what state you live in. AZ, CA, CO, GA, IL, IN, LA, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, UT, or VA

irs.gov has a free file program I've used for the last couple of year. First year Turbo Tax, second year HR Block. It definately speeds up your refund to file electronically!

Based on what I read in USA TODAY - everyone qualifies to file for free using Turbo Tax.

Some of the other software compaines have income or age restrictions for the free filing, but Turbo Tax is free for all.

Here is the IRS list of free tax filing websites:

Some of these you need to go from IRS.gov to get it for free, going to the site might charge a fee.

Thanks! I was wondering why it kept saying $19.95 to file the state, but the federal was free. I wasn't on the right site.

Do these sites do the calculations for you? Or do you have to figure out the amounts?

I know that Turbotax does the calculations for you. I've used them for the past three years. It's great!
