***new question : my bf's aunt said her friend does taxes , and she'll charge 45$ .... itll take 3 weeks ( i think ) to b in his acct ... is that reasonable , like the charge?

i did my taxes online at TurboTax... its not the free edition I used, but the second one its $39.95 I think. But it is very easy to use , they ask you simple questions first like did you get married ? then it asks about your kids & such. It takes you through a step by step process that covers EVERYTHING.

I used Turbo Tax. It asks you questions and you just answer them. One of the questions is have you added a baby. It automatically does it. SUPER easy :)

 its easy - you just add them as dependents but if they were born last year just make sure that you put that they lived with him all 12 months, even if they arent 12 mos old.

I used this site: www.freetaxusa.com

we used www.1040now.com and it asks for the dependants and they tell you if they can be added or not ( if they where born this year or what not) its so easy we have used it for 2 years.

Turbo Tax is soooooooooo easy to use. I have done my own taxes since i was 18 on there and never had any problems even when i had to add my child. And you get to see the little calculater in the corner that just keeps going up everytime you click something.

It is easy to add your child; you just need their social security number. Go to:

http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html?portlet=6 

It is the IRS website listing of free filing places.  I always go through the lists and find ones that I meet the requirements and then visit the sites to find the cheapest state filing.  Most of the federal free file sites are free for federal, but charge for state filing.  So I shop around for the best price.  I end up using a different place every year.  Last year I paid $15.90 for state and $0 for federal filing. They all work great. 

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

I don't think I'd pay to have them done unless I ran my own business. I did mine for free and it was in the bank two weeks later.
