CNET News.com: "Through a partnership with three software companies, the Internal Revenue Service will offer free online tax services to virtually anyone this year.
Under the agency's Free File program, consumers are being offered the chance to use online tools developed by private software makers to help get their tax documents directly to the IRS at little or no charge. The IRS said Wednesday marked the first day that people could begin electronically filing their 2004 taxes.
Previously, the companies involved in the program offered free online tax filing to only a select group of people, specifically individuals in certain age or income brackets. But now IRS partners Intuit, TaxAct and eSmartTax are offering no-cost services to everyone. Two additional companies, FreeTaxUSA.com and FileYourTaxes.com, are extending free services to residents of certain U.S. states. The 10 remaining participating companies, including tax giant H&R Block, have no-cost programs for specific demographics, such as people over the age of 60 or members of the military. "
