Free Tax Software Online

I bet you never thought you would hear the words "free" and "income tax" in the same sentence!

Well, you're right, there is nothing free about taxes, however there are some free tools on the Internet to help you at tax time.

In the past we waited for the tax kiosks to open and went down with our receipts and W2s wadded up in a box and waited in plastic chairs for our turn to hear "the bad news". Now, thanks to technology, we can calculate, estimate and e file online in the privacy of our own home, and take our time too.

We can access free tax preparation software online anytime throughout the year to keep tabs on the our tax liability status. What are advantages of utilizing technology vs. a "real person?"

Well, you are still going to need to gather all of your information regardless, but with online income tax software, if you forget something you don't have to go back home, you simply find the information and then continue. Online tax software is designed to prompt you through the process quickly and easily.

You can elect to e file your state and federal income tax at the same time. This will cost you a small fee starting at about $10. Inaccuracies are checked by the tax software and errors often prevented at the same time, while you are on line. Did you ever get a form back that you forgot to sign? See what I mean?

What if you have a lot of deductions, several sources of income, or allowable adjustments, can a tax software online program handle it?

Absolutely! You name it: capital gains, unemployment compensation, rental income or loss, IRAs, student loan interest, medical saving plans, alimony payments, medical and dental expenses, mortgage interest, charitable contributions, gambling losses, state and local income tax, foreign tax, all of that and more.

Tax software online programs can do everything your taxman used to do. In the convenience of your home, accurately, and with faster refund returns.
