I'm about to file my taxes but my accountant hasn't returned my calls on how to get my documents to him.

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?

I’ve used TaxAct for the last 4 to 5 years.
But my taxes are pretty simple.

I mail them in, instead of doing electronic reporting.

Used them and yes their prompts ask for all pertinent info and yes, direct deposit is an option. No issues with mine or any family members I’ve used it for.

I only use the ones linked directly off the official state & fed & local tax websites.

I have been using FreeTaxUSA for the last several years. For an extra $20 I get state filing and audit protection.

Did you have to mail in any tax forms to the feds or your state?

I have used TaxAct for years with no problem. I don’t do direct deposit though. And I send in a paper form.

Same here. Just mail them in old school. Really simple for mine. The only thing my accountant asks me is “OK you didnt pay obamacare, wanna pay the penalty again?”. Havent done it yet this year but I have to look into it again.

Even if you file electronically you still have to send in a paper form with your signature.

I use Tax Slayer. It is free for Active Duty Military but does cost some money (~$20-30) to file for non-military. You don’t have to pay up front either. You can have the amount deducted from your refund, which works out for me.
