You don't necessarily have to "pay". At the IRS's website they have an entire list of companies that do your federal taxes for free. - Trish Jan 30, 12:01
I buy TaxAct Deluxe every year for $9.95 and that includes a free filling. Easy-peasy. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 30, 12:00
You don't. You pay for Turbo Tax to do it. If you use the gov't website it's free. -- nm - Amy Jan 30, 11:58
Fyi, federal e-filing is free for all now, though state is still about $15. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 30, 11:57 2
- It's free in Maryland if you use iFile. -- (link) - landbeck Jan 30, 12:01 1
  - Well, that's good, but I already use TaxCut and I'm not about to enter all the info a second time. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 30, 12:03
the fee doesn't go to the gov, the fee is for the tax service company - tRuMaN Jan 30, 11:57
most people don't (for federal anyway). states vary -- nm - pigby Jan 30, 11:56
