"So you had a 1099-B and doing your return was still free? I'll have to look into this if it still exists as an option next year."
This is not guided tax prep. You have to know what forms to fill out, and how to
fill them out. But it is free, and obviously the IRS processes the returns sent in
electronically ahead of mail in returns. The guided tax prep offered by the IRS is only
for lower incomes, I forget the number, but definitely did not qualify to use. I have
never used any of the tax prep software like TurboTax, have always just slogged thru it
by going line by line thru the instruction book. It's not hard, but it is a pain in the
butt, so the Free Fillable Form filing was definitely an improvement over the pen and paper
method I was using.
