Where can I get my taxes done for cheap?

Doing your own taxes vs going to a tax preparer. When I did my own taxes, I never thought that I would save that much money. I only paid about $9.95 and I considered my tax forms to be fairly easy. Last year, I paid $180 for a tax preparer to do my taxes. I read somewhere that the tax preparer from most major companies are temps. The temps come and go and if I have any problems with my taxes, I can't find the same tax preparer.

I don't know the difference between buying a tax program like turbo taxes vs going on one of the sites that the IRS site lists to do it yourself. It seems cheaper to do it on one of the site the IRS suggests than buying the program. If I have any questions, I can click on the question mark and it gives me more details. Most of it is self-explanatory.

If you still have not done your takes yet then you might want to check this site out to see if you are eligible to do your federal taxes for free and your state taxes for a low price: www.irs.gov
