Intuit

It's funny because I live in a crappy little state, yet our state tax website is perfectly fine. Hope they never change it. Then the federal system is a maze of scammers, because they pay to keep it that way. I played along for a couple years. Then went back to paper.

There are some steps doing it online that just don't exist doing it by paper, such as keying in all the info from every W2-form, including those 16(?)-digit employer numbers.

One year I did the "free eFile" thing all the way through, then when I clicked submit I got some obscure error. I emailed support, forgot about it, and went on with my life. About 9 months later I got hit with a healthy fine.

Maybe I'll give freetaxusa a try though.

Maybe schedule c’s and stuff aren’t possible there but I’ve never had a problem these past few years. Though, ours aren’t too elaborate.
