I got HandR Block's Taxcut Federal program for free. I then bought the state program. Why you ask? Because HandR block wants to find as much money as possible for me. Took me 2 hours to do my return. But I'm getting about $300 on my return. 1/30/2006 11:06:38 PM |

I have used completetax.com for the last few years. The Fed. and state are free if your income is below a certain ammount. The ammount increases a little every year. You MUST go through the IRS website for it to be free.
There are some other free ones on the IRS website as well. 1/31/2006 9:44:44 AM |

If you are doing the return yourself how is H&R Block finding you any money?1/31/2006 6:20:01 PM |

Some tax software are better than others. They ask better questions, and dig deeper.

There's a choice of four companies there. Some allow under 28,500 (most students), some allow under 50,000. I went with TurboTax b/c it had an extremely nice interface to it. Was able to file two state returns and my federal return for free. Should be getting notification by email in next week for all three and whether they were "approved" or "rejected".
FYI, if you are a dependent, your 1098-T's don't mean crap
