  • Tax Act - prepare "on-line" or download FREE (http://www.taxact.com/index.html)
    • IRS approved
    • this is worth the time to download - all forms are available and printable
    • it will download a 256K file that will install a 6.1Mb download
      • that takes 12 minutes on a 56K modem
    • you can also file "on-line" for a small fee to get a faster refund
  • NetFile - the Colorado state version of on-line preparation (http://www.netfile.state.co.us)
    • other states may have similar capabilities
    • this is cumbersome to use if you are not ready to file immediately
      • but it will hold your information until you return with your ID
    • printing in frames may leave your printer "hung" and break your connection
      • the opening page CANNOT be entirely printed
