What is the IRS' official motto? A. We've got what it takes to take what you've got. When you put the two words "the" and "IRS" together, it spells "theirs". Here are two IRS jokes:

I had been using their software for years. I bought their software last year too. A couple of weeks after that they sent me an email offering free online prep and free e-file. I hadn't entered all of my info on my PC yet, and I would have to pay for e-file if I used the copy I bought, so I went through and filed online. The next week I noticed they had charged me even though all of the screens I went through showed that my total cost for filing was discounted to $0 (free). I have been through several rounds of email with them and they promised to fix the problem. But now it has been almost a year and they are still "looking into it". The worst part is that after the mystery charges I paid them three times, both for the PC and online programs and for filing. Please consider the other free options out there first. If you do use their "free" service watch out for sneaky fees which they might add on as prep, check, support, filing, or service fees. Free is only worth it if you know the real risks and costs. Of course if you pick me I'll probably check out the deal carefully and try to get it in writing (email) from them before using the service. It's a decent program to use, but only a good offer if it is true. Be careful with H&R Block Taxcut promotions or discounts. I had been using their software for years.
