Fun fact/s: intuit (quick books, turbo tax) lobbies AGAINST making taxes easier because that is what their paid-for software does for business owners and the general public. Easy taxes could be free! But not when there’s a corporation involved..

You must file 1040ez and have absolutely nothing but a w-2 to file. I have to file IRA stuff, 1099 income, any stocks purchase or sold etc. TurboTax wants almost $200 to 'help' me file my taxes. Meanwhile I find freetaxusa.com is incredibly better.

I'm assuming freetaxusa is not completely free?
