How do I efile the 1040 form online?
I think I can E File online but I've a lot of questions and I know I can't file a 1040ez. Anyone know if the online tax preparation services that E-File have a help section or live help so I can get answers quickly? I really want to efile this weekend so any help you can provide would be appreciated! Thanks in advance

- I used www.taxact.com to file my taxes online. It will ask you questions and fill out the correct forms for you. It is cheap too. It only cost me about $15 to file both my federal and state forms. You can also file online for FREE if you meet the following: If your income is $56,000 or less, go to www.irs.gov and click on 'Free File Available' from there you can pick a site, or they will help you pick a site that you can file your taxes online for free! I used to use this method until I got married and my income went up. Good luck!

- There is still plenty of time to use an online program to e-file your taxes today. An advantage of filing today with an online tax program is the professional assistance that it offers. Programs like TurboTax offer professional online assistance to help answer any tax questions you have. Afraid of being audited? The online tax programs provide programs like the Audit Support Center from TurboTax that scans your return for possible scenarios that will raise flags to the IRS. The program will show you where in you tax return they found these possible flags and ask you to verify the data while providing suggestions to decrease the chance of your taxes being audited by the IRS. Programs like the Audit Support Center will help you receive more money from your refund while helping you not get audited. Another advantage of using the TurboTax is that it allows you to find answers to your tax questions very easily. TurboTax provides an online blog, email and a phone number for you to contact if you have any questions. The online tax blog gives you access to others who are having or have had similar questions and provide the solutions they used to solve their tax problem. You can use the email feature to contact a tax professional with questions on your return. This is a great method if you are not sure who to ask your question to. The system will make sure your question is answered by a professional in the particular tax field. If you prefer to speak to a live person than write an email I would suggest calling them. A telephone number is available on their site and will give you access to a live tax professional. This method is great if you have your papers in front of you and you know your questions ahead of time. I recommend checking out the site FileTaxesToday.com in order to take advantage of the assistance available to file your taxes. I’ve used this program for the past few years and it helps me file correctly, accurately and on time.
