Tax Time

I'm working on our taxes today. Just wanted to remind you that if you're doing it online or want to file electronically, utilize the Tax Freedom Project hosted by TurboTax:  http://turbotax.intuit.com/taxfreedom/.  There is a pretty resonable criteria and if you qualify you can file both Federal and State for free!  I works for the following states:  AL, AR, AZ, GA, IA, ID, KY, MI, MN, MO, MS, NY, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, VT, WV.  Happy filing!

Taxes

I meant to post this earlier. A conversation with my mom reminded me to get this online. I just wanted to pass along the IRS website to find a third party to prepare and submit your taxes for free: http://www.irs.gov/efile/

If you click the "file online for free" link, it brings you to a page where you can either choose a company to file your taxes through or the IRS can help pair you up with one based on your income and needs.

Personally, we've been using the free Turbo Tax edition for the past few years: http://turbotax.intuit.com/taxfreedom/. And Turbo Tax is free for states that sponsor a free file program, like MN and MI (as well as others, check the link). There are income or EIC requirements to qualify for free submission to both Federal and State, but it's well worth it to check out!

Let me know if you have any tax questions and I'll give the best advice I can. Spent 3 years on the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance group on campus as well as schooling, so I've seen a lot of things.

Anyway, just wanted to pass along the great IRS website! Keep it bookmarked, you may want it in the years to come, too.
