TurboTax Free Edition, what is it and can you use it to file your income tax return this year. If you have a simple income tax return then you can use the TurboTax Free Edition. Free tax form preparation, free printing, and free efiling. TurboTax guarantees the biggest tax refund possible even on their TurboTax Free Edition.

TurboTax Free edition is available for online filing only, it is not a TurboTax download or CD tax software edition.

If you have never used TurboTax before, the TurboTax online editions are the best for you. Consider for example that you do not have to pay until you are satisfied and wish to print or efile your income tax return (premium online editions require payment, not the free edition). If you purchase the software by download or CD ROM, you don’t get the same satisfaction guarantee because you would have already received your software and used it.

TurboTax Free Edition benefits for online users:

• TurboTax Free Edition — Free preparation, free printing, free efile.
• Get the biggest tax refund possible, guaranteed by TurboTax.
• Free TurboTax Audit Support Center and live TurboTax online help.

TurboTax Free Edition walks you step-by-step through your income tax return and provides guidance designed for people who are new to income tax software. TurboTax Free Edition will ask you questions and put your answers to those questions onto your income tax forms. When you are finished you simply click to efile or print your income tax return.

IRS begins the 2009 income tax return season this month and has announced that IRS efile opens on January 15, 2010. IRS efile as we discuss on our web site is the process of filing out your federal income tax return and sending it to the IRS electronically versus sending your income tax return to the IRS through the mail.

According to the IRS web site, the efile service rolled out nationally in 1990 and delivered 4.2 million income tax returns. Last year the IRS efile service delivered over 95 million income tax returns or about 66% of all filed tax returns.

The free tax software found on our web site can be used to efile your IRS tax forms online or through the purchase of premium software. To get your income tax refund as fast as possible, choose the direct deposit option. The leading income tax software providers H&R Block, Turbo Tax, and Tax Act are quoting 8 days as the number of days to receive your IRS tax refund using the direct deposit option. The IRS states “in as few as 10 days” on their web site.

In contrast if you are planning to mail in your IRS tax refund and receive an IRS refund check by mail, that could take up to 6 weeks! For sure it is much faster to efile.
