What a crazy way to collect taxes, make a system than only a small percentage of the population can actually understand.

And I disagree that doing it online is quicker. I had my federal and state taxes completed and in the mail at the end of February, I got my refunds the next week.

I like the free method through us.gov. It saves me from having to pay an enormous fee and I get the money deposited right into my checking account in a 7 - 10 days. This year might be a little trickier cuz I think I have to file a Ohio state form since I worked there for 3 days and got my gross was $400. Is there a minimum amount that if you make less than you don't have to file the state form? Anyone???

Here'* one link for what appears to be a free, online service. Especially for the future, it would be good to get an idea of how to file and fill out the form manually, even if you do it both ways. Online for a quick on line filing, maually for the experience.

Edit: heck, I just checked their site again, and e-file is included FREE with the standard free package this year. Sweeeet! Again, highly recommended.

Scotty, that sounds very similiar to www.ufile.ca
I've been using it for years. Cost me $13 bux, its like having an accountant hold your hand while doing your taxes.
