Compare Online Tax Preparation Websites

Here is a list of online tax preparation websites in order of overall cost for preparing a federal and state tax return. You should note the word 'overall cost' - taking into account that most of the 'free' tax filing websites, including the IRS site, do not allow you to file your state taxes free. In addition they have income limitations to file even your federal return for free.

We often get questions from people who file their federal taxes for free and then scramble to find a resource to file their state taxes by itself.
