Have you started preparing your taxes? Here are some of the free e-filing options that are available to you so that you can get your taxes off to the IRS asap.
- TaxCut. TaxCut is offering a free edition if you want to prepare your return online. It also includes free e-filing. I’m a big fan of TaxCut, and I have used their products for many years. It’s available at TaxCut Online.
- TurboTax. TurboTax offers a free online edition available at TurboTax Online. It includes free e-filing. TurboTax is one of the most popular tax software packages around. I have used TurboTax and was quite satisfied.
- TaxAct. You can prepare, print, and e-file your return for free. TaxAct offers an online version or a download version of their software at TaxAct. I have never used this product but I understand it is pretty good.
- IRS Free File. The IRS Free File program is an IRS partnership with 20 tax software companies offering free filing. There is an income limit of $56,000 or less in 2008.
- IRS Free File Fillable Forms. The IRS Free File Fillable Forms is not a tax software, but blank forms. There are no income limitations. You pick the forms you need, fill in the numbers, and e-file for free. If you know what you are doing, this is a great option!
- VITA. The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program offers free e-filing. You can go to your nearest VITA location in person and have a volunteer complete your return. To locate the nearest VITA site, call 1-800-829-1040.
