Scuffling with Taxes

I'm using Free File Fillable Forms this year. 

It requires some math, unlike the super easy software programs that do it all for you, but I couldn't find a version that will do our return for free (we have 'additional income'), so this is the best I could do.

At least it adds up a few things for you (basically, you have to enter all the main numbers from your tax forms, but it will add the various lines), and you can e-file. 

That saves a precious, precious stamp, as well as some paper, but one of the main benefits is being able to type into the form instead of write it in by hand. I'm sure the IRS will appreciate the improved legibility.

I'll be sure to post an update if we wind up getting audited for bad math.
