Because the tax preparation services lobbied the federal government to make it illegal for the US government to offer its own filing service. I like 1040now.net. The UI is atrocious but it basically just offers an HTML version of the actual IRS forms. If all you need is a 1040 and a W2, then you just fill those out and skip the rest of the forms. I've been using it for several years. It costs $20 to file your federal returns if you make more than a certain amount, and it also offers State tax filing as well |
