For years I used TaxAct (www.taxact.com) software, the free version for federal taxes. You could file online, but I never did. Printed a hard copy and mailed it in. Why make it easy for the IRS? In all the years I used TaxAct, I never had the IRS complain or audit me. FWIW, I was self-employed, owned a home, had rental property, etc. So, my return was quite involved. B
