E-File Your Federal Tax Returns for Free With Free File

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

Today the IRS announced it’s expanding its program that allows taxpayers to file online for free. This year the e-file program includes new improvements to the Free File program that will allow nearly all taxpayers to e-file for free.

From the IRS website:

“…most taxpayers qualify for free tax preparation offered through Free File on IRS.gov. Regardless of income level, taxpayers who are comfortable with filling out paper tax forms and who don’t need extra assistance can use the IRS’s new Free File Fillable Forms. These new online versions of paper tax forms that can be e-filed are available for the first time by visiting the IRS.gov Free File site.”

You can get more info on the E-File Announcement from the IRS website.

I’ve been scouting for the lowest priced Wii accessories since the Nintendo Wii was released and it’s tough to find them for less than the retail price.

In my experience Amazon.com consistently has some of the lowest priced Wii accessories when you consider they offer free Super Saver shipping on orders of $25 or more and you won’t pay any sales tax except in KS, KY, ND, NY and WA.

Some of most popular Wii accessories include the Wii Remote Controller, Wii Nunchuck Controller, Wii Grand Slam Sports Pack, Wii Charge Station, Wii Perfect Shot Gun, Wii 9 In 1 Sports Pack, Wii Dual Charge Station and Turbo Cooler, Wii Zapper With Link’s Crossbow Training, Wii 15 In 1 Starter Kit, Wii HD Link Component Cable, Official Nintendo Wii Wheel, and Wii Ultimate Action Pack.
