Tax Time

This year anyone may file their Federal taxes online for free. The trick is you must start at the IRS's free efile page, and from there choose one of the providers whose entry says it is free to all taxpayers. Then in fact it is free. If you are planning to do it from one of the library's machines, a.) be sure to bring all your information with you, including LAST YEAR's Adjusted Gross Income, which the process will ask you for near the end; b.) be sure to sign up for a one-hour machine; and c.) and consider doing it at the La Farge Branch where the work stations are larger and more private.
I myself did it the other morning, using TurboTax on the Web. It worked, and it was free.
