Have You Filed Your Taxes Electronically...For Free

As you can already guess this is going to be about filing your taxes online for free. I know you don't want to do it because it's so time consuming, its hard, you don't know how to do stuff like that and excuse after excuse, right? Well, it relatively easy if you're the average single, with or without child(ren) and maybe no investments. If that's you well you've probably been giving your money away to the tax preparer every year for a simple tax return. I go to Internal Revenue Service web site and select Freefile to get a list of tax companies like H&R Block, Intuit Turbo Tax, and more companies. I've used both of these companies exclusively for filing taxes after paying someone to do my taxes once. The tax preparer couldn't get me any break or large refund I was told he could. So I went home did my return on pen and paper and got the same thing myself. That was the last year I ever paid anyone to do my taxes. By the next year I was reading the IRS website and learning about cuts, credits, free help to prepare your taxes, information line and more.

You should really take the time to do your own taxes simply because knowing how to do so efficiently and thoroughly can be a great asset to your household when you get a service as a luxury to save time rather than a necessity for the lack of skill to do it. You never know when you need to draw upon that knowledge.

For the past two years I've been using Turbo Tax's free software over H&R blocks free tax preparation software. I've noticed that turbo tax is becoming a lot more detailed and getting bigger tax refunds due to wider array of deductions they quiz your for.
