Well, it's that time again. Yes, already. Taxes are due in just over two months, and I know a lot of people not so happy about this. For those of you who have already filed, dance your happy dance and don't bother to keep reading. . . But for the rest of us, here is a helpful hint.
You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to file your taxes, and no, I'm not suggesting TurboTax (although that's fine too). There are quite a number of online sites that will allow you to complete your taxes and file online FREE. Yes, I said free, but before you rush off to find one, there is a catch. Only the federal return is free, so make sure you find out how much it will cost you to file your state return before you decide on a site. I have personally used (and loved!) the following site for the last two years and will use it again this year: http://www.freetaxusa.com/ With this site it's only $9.95 to e-file your state return, so it's way cheaper than using a professional service. Best of all, it's super easy too! I promise.
