If you don't itemize your deductions, TurboTax has a free online version to do a 1040EZ at no cost. My daughter used it to do her taxes for the first time this year, and she got her whopping $12 back the other day. Know anyone else with TurboTax? I buy it every year, and the license states that one copy can do up to five returns. Of course TurboTax allows this number thinking that there might be enough family members who need to do their taxes. Check with a family member and see if anyone of them bought it. You can use their copy, and buy them a six pack for the use.
The IRS has set it up where these tax prep companies let you efile for free if you make under 56k and are doing a basic return like 1040 or 1040ez. Turbo tax's version of this is difficult to get to. Basically you have to set up a new account or it funnels you to their pay site. (at least that is what it did while I was in college.)
I used the small business one, and it worked pretty good.
