Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Comprehension
- Calculator
- Computer
- Internet (this is actually optional)
- Envelope / Stamp
- Bank account (only for direct deposit also opt)
- Willingness to read!
Step1
The first thing you must do is go to the irs website.
http://www.irs.gov/app/freeFile/jsp/index.jsp?ck
Step2
Next you will need to click on free file on the left, then read the qualifications. If I remember correctly it is 50 thousand or under can frre file. But PLEASE check the site there are a few ifs and buts. (Arent there always?) If your income falls within the range, move on.
Step3
Next you will have to choose one of the tax softwares from a list on the bottom of the page. * Personal Note: I used Liberty's free software for my niece and we got a rejection from the IRS. So choose wisely! I would stick with a large name corporation myself. UPDATE!! My niece checked her birth certificate and we had her birthdate incorrect! Was not a problem with the free Liberty Tax software.
Step4
When you have chosen your course begin to fill in all the blanks on the page. Please remember to submit with all w-2's in hand. Remember to read each page carefully then answer the questions. You may even need to stop by the post office to get tax forms and the instruction booklet.
Step5
Cross all you t's and dot your I's then either submit your online forms or print it and mail it in!
