Tax Question: IRS and Free File would you do it?

[DAM]

Ok so the IRS is pushing this Free File for those that qualify, however this is done through a 3rd party like Intuit and companies like that. Now, I have filed my own taxes all the time, but last year I did telefile and now I am spoiled :--)

So I want to hear some pros and cons about this free file.

what is the logic behind the "qualifications" ? why are the people that "qualify" more important than those that don't?

 

[DAM]

it has nothing to do with importance, just that for people that make less money (like this broke ass college student) that its easier to file those taxes.

i dunno, i have only filed taxes once, and it was through the free HR block deal last year. it was pretty painless though, i have no idea what it's like on paper
