TurboTax, by Intuit, is tax filing tool available online. On the TurboTax website, you can complete and file simple federal tax returns for free (there is a fee for more complex and state returns), and the process is laid out step by step. All you need are your tax papers from your employer(s), any pertinent financial records and an Internet connection. After you print out your completed taxes, or submit them electronically, you do not even have to store a hard copy in your home or on a file on your computer. TurboTax keeps all your past tax filing records on their website. The file is stored securely on your account, for only your eyes to see.
