Tax item

Hi all,

Can any of you provide info on good, TRUSTWORTHY programs you have used to file federal taxes electronically?

EASY to use would be a plus, also.

I have always filed by paper. The IRS is incredibly slow in processing anymore. I am aware the IRS has free file . Can I use that even if my income is over the
‘Free’ limit, and just pay for the service??

Thank you!

in 6 weeks and my stimulus check ( which I hadn’t previously received) in my hands, while many who filed electronically were still waiting. Besides, if you owe them money, what’s the rush. Just don’t give them a free loan and you won’t be anxious for your own money to be returned to you.
