I will never efile because I refuse to provide my private information to the software companies. If the IRS provided an all-encompassing identification number which translated into my SSN,address,ect. (so I do not need to give ANY personal information to the companies) then I might free file/efile.

Taxpayers getting screwed again. My state, New Mexico, allows all users to file FREE at their Tax & Revenue website and has for some years now. I’ll keep mailing my return and wasting our tax dollars just because some bureaucrat or the Congress can’t act.

Thanks for the post — I can’t figure out why e-file is not free for everyone. The mail-processing facilities must cost millions of dollars to run, and they probably scan in every tax form they receive. If the IRS can save that money, surely they can offer the ability to file for free over the web? The $50K AGI maximum seems capricious.

I’m glad you wrote about this, I’ve been gathering info on all the online and download versions available (that also support mac) and the cheapest I found was 9.95 for fed + state and both e-filing. I had seen the 50k AGI free offering, but didn’t realize it was more prevalent too. Thanks!
