TurboTax Federal Free Edition

Bought and had it installed on my computer within one hour! Save time, money and the environment by electronic downloading. Of course if you have a dial-up connection, you should consider the amount of time this will take. But if you have a broadband connection, you should not have a problem with the download. I have been using TurboTax for years and this is the first time I downloaded the software online. I cannot rate the actual program because I have not received my year end information, but I trust it will be as easy as last year.
