FREE online tax return fun

thanks to dword over at crumleydotorg (and often either 4 feet to my right or 4 blocks north, depending on the time of day) for finding this link for the IRS's new free electronic filing program.

that link brings you to a page of links to various service providers, and none can be much better than TurboTax for the Web, which I've used for 4 years now. previously they stepped you through all the questions for free, but you had to pay to file and/or print it. now apparently the whole thing is free if you're in the know. even if they charged the $20 for filing, it would be worth every penny.

note that you WONT find mention of the free deal on their main site...only if you go to taxfreedom.com.

not all our papers are in yet, but so far we're getting a decent refund (the funnest part of the online forms is the refund tally in the corner). yay! another joy of parenthood I guess. enjoy.
