If so please post a link to the site you used. I was directed to a list with about 15 sites to use and I also wondered if the State was included with the offer. Thanks for your help........

There are three ways to use e-file: through tax preparers, through most tax preparation software or through IRS Free File. The IRS does not charge for e-file. Many tax preparers and software products also offer free e-filing with their services.

As people become more comfortable using computers and the Internet for financial transactions, the IRS has seen a huge growth in the number of people who are preparing their own tax returns with the help of software. For people seeking free electronic options, IRS Free File offers something for almost everyone through two formats.

Traditional Free File provides free tax preparation software and free electronic filing to individuals or families who earn less than $57,000. Traditional Free File is a public-private partnership in which approximately 20 tax software manufacturers make their tax preparation software and e-filing available for free.

Everyone can use Free File Fillable Forms. This service, now in its second year, provides free online tax forms that can be completed and filed electronically. These are electronic versions of IRS paper forms. This program is ideal for people who are comfortable preparing their own returns with little assistance.

People must access Free File through the IRS Web site at www.IRS.gov and click on Free File or www.IRS.gov/freefile. People can read more about Free File at www.freefile.IRS.gov

The site to use is www.irs.gov. Go there and click on "free file" then select one of the companies you'd like to use. Whenever you go to the website, always go to the IRS website first then access the private website from there. I've used TurboTax in the past and it worked just fine; you'll get your refund in 10 days if by direct deposit or three weeks if by check in the mail. State taxes are offered but they're not free.

just as DHP said, go to irs.gov and u can either let them choose a place for you, or you can pick from the list....i just look at their list and choose H+R, but used Turbo last year....its very easy...and NO the state is NOT free there.....however, check your own state site, cuz if its like here, u can do your state there and its free...u can here in indiana......state tax was in acct in 5 days.......

they will keep asking on h+r do u want us to import your state tax info, etc....just say no.....when u go to state site, all you need is your Adj Gross Income from fed return....

After registering the Turbo site after entering my info it takes me to a blank screen?

I can't use H&R since I was not under 51 at the end of 2009....

I guess it's time to flip a coin
