why I can't efile for free? I mean, seriously, i paid my taxes to fund the .gov's ability to accept efile documents, yet i can't file for free unless i use paper. yet joe blow down the street can and he may or may not pay any taxes this year.

    that doesn't explain anything but the criteria that has to be met to free efile.

    i'm saying, i don't get why there is any criteria. everyone should be able to free file.

    1040ez :lol:

    the point is, i am paying taxes, quite a bit of taxes, yet i can't efile my tax returns for free. yet, people that are paying less taxes or possible even none get to efile for free. it seems like the people that pay for the efile system should be able to benifit from it.

    i think turbo tax let's you file your federal taxes for free online
    don't compete; coexist

    what are you but my reflection? who am i to judge or strike you down?

    "I will promise you this, that if we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home. We will bring an end to this war. You can take that to the bank." - Barack Obama

    when you told me 'if you can't beat 'em, join 'em'
    i was thinkin 'death before dishonor'
