File Free With the IRS

This is a repeat blog from a year ago. The only thing that changed was the dollar limitation.

Do you have a simple federal tax return to file? You can do it on-line free through the IRS. You qualify if you receive a W-2 from your employer, and have some interest and dividend income. You even can own a home and qualify. The major restriction is that all of your income must be below $57,000.

You can file your return through an IRS partner, or you can complete the tax forms found on the IRS Web site at http://www.irs.gov/app/picklist/list/formsInstructions.html This is a fast, easy, and free way to file your return. Would you like to have your refund in less than 3 weeks? You can have it deposited directly into your checking account. Have a personal check in front of you when you file your return so you have the numbers they require to take advantage of direct deposit. This system is appropriate only for uncomplicated returns.

This link to the IRS Web site can help you file your return.
