Filing Electornically

Today I'm contemplating filing taxes
electronically. Here's the main IRS
web page on this topic:

IRS Electronic Filing

It appears that the IRS offers two
options. One options is fillable
forms. The other option is tax
software.

I think I'll try the fillable forms
this year. This sounds like it is
the closest approximation to what I
already do.

Here's the fillable forms FAQ:

I just learned something. I learned
that filing electronically for 2010
is no longer possible. I'll have to
paper file instead:

Currently, this web page has red lettering
at the top that says that says the following:

Free File has closed for this year. Check
back January 17, 2012 to file your 2011
Free File return.

Looks like I'll be filing paper for my 2010
return. I was granted an extension and am
now filing late.
