Did you know many people are eligible to file their federal and sometimes state taxes for free? To see if you qualify, go to the IRS website.
I actually checked our state's website to determine that we could file our state and federal taxes for free using the TurboTax Freedom. If I hadn't done that, I likely would have spent $13 to file with the company I used last year.
I have entered all information in except our main W-2 and a 1099-INT. I expect to receive those within the next week.
Once I file, I know there will be a refund. A refund large enough to complete our 2011 Roth contributions and then some.
Are you filing online or with snail mail? Are you eligible for free file, if not how much are you paying to file?
ETA: Don't forget to Google for free tax return filing if your income is above the IRS thresholds. Ours is below this year because of combat pay. Also, the 1099-INT was available online today!! One more to go...and I just hope it is correct.
