As April 15th quickly approaches, here are two free tools to help you file your federal and state taxes online:
The Free File Alliance is a voluntary coalition of tax software preparation companies that partner with the Internal Revenue Service to provide free tax preparation services to millions of Americans. Through the Free File Alliance, 70 percent of taxpayers can file online for free in 2008, including all 95 million taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of $54,000 or less.
The Virginia Department of Taxation’s iFile program provides free online filing of state income taxes. You can prepare and file your state taxes, request an extension, and and make payments online. Answers to frequently asked questions about the iFile program can be found here.
