Giving this a try. TurboTax led me astray last year. Charged me over $100 to file a pretty basic report. It was my first filing experience and I didn't have much income or anything to report on.
I hope MyFreeTaxes.com and H&R Block actually mean free when they advertise free filing.
March 26th update:
I have sent my tax returns away, unfortunately, had to do this by mail. For a reason H&R Block couldn't even resolve. My e-file was rejected.... 5 times.
At least the filing did end up being free. I learned today that the IRS charges you $40 to make a direct deposit and it is free if you receive the tax refund by mail.
I'm a little nervous because there may not be a confirmation from the IRS before the tax deadline, so I have to hold my breath til then. Here is to hoping next year is easier, it should be since I am sticking with H&R Block!

June 17th update: Lesson learned. Don't procrastinate if choosing the mail option. Get it done early to avoid fees and worry.
