Did you know that you can prepare and e-file your income tax completely for free this year regardless of your income? Last year the IRS had strict limits on who could use free tax prep software.
If you want to file for free, go to http://www.irs.gov and you’ll see a list of participating software vendors.
Be aware that certain vendors won’t let you do the free prep and e-filing if your income is above $56,000/year, so take note of each one’s individual restrictions. But you’re guaranteed to find some that certainly will this year. Select vendors will also allow you to do your state income tax as well.
