We're* in the final 48 hours before your taxes need to be in the loving embrace of the IRS, or at least postmarked as such. I filed my own this year since, looking at our 1040, I couldn't justify paying the accountant to do it. I went with H&R Block's software (after discounts: $10) and was pretty happy with it except that they give you free federal filing and then try to milk you for $20 to e-file your state taxes. Nuts to that, I just stuffed them in an envelope and sent them off. Illinois does have free e-filing through the state .gov site but I didn't feel like starting all over with the data entry either and I'm not in much of a hurry to get my refund.
My net refund is $42 so I guess I planned out my deductions just right.
Anyone have any stumbles or stories with the ACA requirement? I thought I'd have to submit some sort of evidence but it was all "Oh, insurance through an employer? Works for us" and that was that. A friend of Flea's got dinged with the false return scam where she went to file the other day and was told "We already have your return on file". Someone had submitted a fraudulent return and nicked the refund. Nothing like that here though -- the IRS was more than happy to take my stuff.
