>Most people qualify for free filing

For that matter, everyone qualifies for free filing--although in practice it gets too complicated for most past some point. I know it sounds like something savages would do but it's actually possible to just fill out the forms by hand if your taxes are fairly simple.

I use an accountant who I've been using for years but if you just have a W-2, a 1099 or two, and just use the standard deduction, it'ls likely pretty simple to just fill out a 1040 form and a state tax form.
