Benjamin Franklin, in his 1789 letter to Jean-Baptiste Leroy, penned this famous quote:"Our new Constitution is now established, and has an appearance that promises permanency; but in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes."According to this article that certainty is being addressed online as most people are currently filing their tax returns online.
Ann and I have used Web Turbo Tax for many years (used it free for the first year or so) and think that this product makes filing a bit easier as it streamlines the entry of information and analyzes the information that you enter before it e-files. Anyone have any positive or negative experiences with online tax filing?
So many companies (banks mostly) try to take advantage of people using this system, and I am very happy to see taxpayers are taking it into their own hands rather than relying on tax prep firms. As a trainer for those firms, I may be out a job in the near future...and I look forward to it.
ReplyDeleteIRS stats as of March 30, indicate that e-file is up 6% from last year, but professional e-filing is only up 5% while personal PC e-filing is up 8.3%.
If your smart enough to blog, your smart enough to e-file your own return!
My wife and I use Turbo Tax software (not the on-line version); it has been a HUGE help for us, and found us deductions each year that we would have missed otherwise.
