that's who I use! $15 to file state, free federal; I mean that's pretty close to 'free' compared to Turbo/Inuit pushing you close to $100 after all the BS. And freetaxusa keeps my info for subsequent years, etc.

I'd suggest using the IRS's Free File Program wizard to find a tax program that'll do your state taxes for free. You'd save a little money that way. Most tax programs will keep your info for multiple years after your first time using them, too.

thanks, but I make too much according to that, which is something else people seem to skip over whenever these "just do it for free!!!!" posts come up. You have to make below $80k (AGI) even when married.

But, again, even if I didn't, $15 seems pretty fair to me, to avoid having to hunt for the magical free method.
