You can do it! You've been wanting to file your Federal and State taxes online and now you're ready to get started. You're probably wondering how hard it's gonna be, especially if this is your first time filing taxes online.

The process of filing Federal and State taxes online has been simplified so that you no longer have to pay a tax professional to prepare and file your taxes. Tax professionals have been busy designing an online tax program, that will help you, to prepare and file your taxes all by yourself.

The first step needed to file your Federal and State taxes online is to find an IRS approved tax filing website. A tax filing website is a company that offers online software for tax preparation and filing purposes. I like a website that lets me use their software for free, so that I can do a few trial runs on my taxes before I file.

The reason for this is, I get to spend as much time as I want, learning how to get the most tax saving deductions possible. For instance, I can see whether I'm farther ahead claiming the standard deduction or whether I should itemize a deduction. It's like having a free tax helper that does all the figuring for me.

If I get stuck or have a question, there's always a place for me to click and find the answer I'm looking for. When I want to know more about Federal or State income taxes, I know I can always find more information so that I can make the right decision.

You can do the same thing as I do. Just plug in your numbers and take a trial run. It's an easy way to file, prepare, and get a larger, faster tax refund, all by yourself, from your computer.
