Tax submittal .... ?
So I'm a single guy who basically needs to report w-2's. I used to use Telefile, and it took me about 5 minutes. I don't need the snazzy turbo-tax to do my taxes, and don't want to pay the fee....(but, I will if I have to...)
Are there any free, simple, online services which are easy just in reporting w2's?
I have been searching, but, am skeptical. Any help or direction would be appreciated, thanks.

ah we all make mistakes 
Only one i see that is free on the IRS.gov site is
Freefile / Federal taxes only
http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html
I have not used this service myself tho
and I'm sure theres a million services out there. To use the service u have to make 54,000 or less it says. I don't see any other links but if u parse through the IRS.gov site a bit theres a ton of info.
I used turbotax myself but i had both state/fed taxes to do Hope this helps

I used these guys the last 2 years to file online: http://www.freetaxusa.com/
It worked great and I had my refund in my checking account right away. Took me about 10 minutes to file. I think federal was free and I had to pay $10 for them to file my state taxes.

I e-filed with taxact.com for the first time this year. IMO, as easy as turbotax is, taxact is even easier. The Federal part was free and the State part was $13 and some change. I had my fed return in 7 days of filing and had my state return in 21 days of filing (our state was lagging this year for some reason.)
Hope that helps.

I've been using them for three years now. Very easy and their program even found some deductions that I was missing when I did my taxes manually. Like Rock Slide said...free Federal and $13.xx for the state.
Good luck.
