Tax Software Tips

Tax Software Tips
Hello, everyone. I'm Terry Bowden with Expert Village. We're talking about filing our taxes online. Now, we're still on the Internal Revenue Service's site, and we're at e-file. So if you made over fifty-four thousand dollars, you cannot use the free file program that the IRS has set up. So we're on the e-file site. We want to find a provider to use. Now there are many, many providers out there, so we're going to go down. Remember earlier, we looked at the e-file checklist. Very informative. I would definitely suggest you go there. We're going to go down, scroll down. If you don't have a scroll button like I'm using here, you can go over to the right, to the arrow button in the lower right hand corner and left click it and see it goes down. Or you can hold down the left click and you can drag it up or down to make it go smooth. So a couple options they?re using your computer. We're going to left click on the 'Authorized IRS e-Providers'. And you'll see there's a box. We can click inside the little box and right next to the 'Submit' button, you can punch in your zip code, okay? Punch in your zip code and it'll give you a list of providers that are local in your area. Now I have used several providers over the years to e-file my taxes personally and have a lot of friends that have used theirs. One of the ones that most stands out and is most well-known is called Turbo Tax. You can buy the software in a lot of your stores such as Wal-mart, K-mart, etc... or you can also go to their site. So we'll do that. We'll go to Turbo Tax. This is their home page. You can go up to it. The company, their parent company is Intuit and this is one of their programs. Type in www.turbotax.com and this will come up. In our next segment, we'll take a look at more into turbo tax.
