Tax Season

That’s right It's tax season! If you have received you W2 why not go ahead and fill out your taxes online?  Websites like H&R Block and Tax Act or programs/sites like Turbotax  make it easy by guiding you step by step. Even if you don’t feel comfortable filing, go ahead and try one of these out.  You may be seeing those commercials now saying people who file themselves on line are missing out or loosing thousands of dollars. Of course the major tax filers will say this because they have lost money and customers ever since programs and on line filing became available. No matter how you feel you can still try it out.  You can fill about both federal and state for free and instantly see an estimated return or… how much you owe.  And if you decide to file, your federal will be free and/or pay a small fee to file your state.

If you use H&R Block and you fill it out online and still are unsure about your results,  you can still go to your local H&R Office and they can bring up what you have done check everything and file for you.

Each of these sites have different levels where you can pay to get more features and help.  You can try out each level you will only have to pay is if you actually file.

So go ahead and give it a try.  The IRS began processing returns on January 31st, so the quicker you file the faster you will get your return. Electronic filing is the fastest way to get your return (couple of weeks).
