If you talk to several Americans, most of them will tell you that the 2005 tax season will tax nerves, eat up most of their time and probably their money too.

Happily doing taxes nowadays can be a lot faster, stress and perhaps even stress free through a number of ways.

Thanks to a tax industry maverick that has made all this possible by breaking down the blockades to free tax preparation. Through www.TaxACT.com customers can now e-file their returns and even prepare and have them printed free of charge.

Here are good reasons why you should file your taxes online:

1. It's faster. The software is designed in an easy-to-understand Q&A format. The software asks intelligent questions in plain English and sorts out the tax code automatically so you don�t have to.

2. It�s more effortless than manually preparing your taxes by hand. There�s no need to erase or white out. The smart questions asked by TaxACT are based on previous answers. The users can pick up their returns days or weeks later after starting and saving their returns. Very convenient.

3. You'll make fewer mistakes. Mistakes and inadequate information (including TaxACT) will be flagged by many programs.

4. It�s cheaper. Filing returns online is less expensive than using an accountant. The software can be affordable and even free in the case of TaxACT Standard. Some taxpayers can avail free filing online at the IRS Web site, but ALL taxpayers can electronically file for free at TaxACT.com.

5. Faster refunds. E-filers get an average return time of less than two weeks compared to months if you snail-mail returns in.

Filing your returns online using this approach will not only save you the costs associated with completing and filing your returns. Besides, all forms, schedules and worksheets you'll need to prepare your federal tax return quickly and easily are also contained in the software.

The TaxACT Standard Federal features introduced this year include a simple seven-step procedure with reliable reference instruments and programmed flags for inaccurate information to make the procedure handy, speedy and reliable. . TaxACT is also designed to collect information for state returns which makes preparing a state return just as quick and easy.

Additional forms and more support are included in a TaxACT deluxe edition for those requiring extra advice or who have more difficult tax situations. tax refunds
