Has anyone used the e-file services found on line and are they all encompassing when itemizing deductions? Do they allow a direct deposit refund to your account without charging a fee thru a third party?
H&R Block Online—which I haven't tried yet—will do it for FREE even if you do itemize. I heard that on one of their commercials, IIRC.
But, in any event, TurboTax is very easy and user-friendly, walking you right through everything. You just get all your documentation, forms, and receipts together and go to town, and they help you electronically file, which gets your refund issued much faster than printing and snail-mailing it.
You should definitely try it out...
Chase sent me a email saying their customers get to use TurboTax online for free - last few years I used TaxAct but they charge for electronic deposit - gonna lose them a lot of customers.<p.I doubt if there are any that don’t allow electronic filing/direct deposit - the question would be the fees.
i have used turbo tax for the last couple of years. If you haven’t changed much a lot is filled in for you. Your W2’s you enter your employer number and your id and it grabs the whole form online. You don’t have to send anything in the mail just keep for your records.
