This video walks you through the basic filing process. It only takes 5 minutes to file your taxes. Pretty awesome, eh?

The filing is done via the IRS website. Here is more info and links:

    I eagerly await the day that everyone’s taxes can be done on something the size of a postcard, and not just a small non-profit’s 🙂

    Of course that day is probably never, but hey, a girl can dream…
