I wonder if you can upgrade using the Taxcut Federal premium without efile ($15-20) and still use the efile on this one... Now that would be an awesome deal. For those living in Ohio, the state has free online tax filing, so if you live in Ohio don't waste your money.

If your filing needs are that simple, why not free file using H&R or any other one that the IRS posts on their site? As far as state filing goes, I can only speak about Illinois which has an easy-to-use web based filing for free.

Once you're out of the lower tax brackets, you can't free file, but I still don't make enough money to have more than simple filing needs. I bought it to save $14-$19.

Unless I missed it in the free file H&R online, you can't save your info to import next year, where as with H&R Taxcut Standard you can. Also if you are a returning customer to H&R freefile it costs $14.95 to upgrade to TaxCut Standard and import the information.

Still I can't find a way to import my info from last years online free file into the dollar store TaxCut Standard.

I love Dollar Tree! Although for the past two years I received free federal and state filing from TurboTax through StateFarm.com. http://www.statefarm.com/landing/tax.asp

I recommend TaxACT. It's free to file your federal and another $10-15 for state. Or you can just use the information from your federal forms to fill out your state forms, as Broida suggested. Here are some tax software programs that are ranked: http://taxes.about.com/od/taxsoftware/tp/taxsoftware.htm

On a separate note, I love this site. Thanks for the good finds Rick!
