Why spend approximately $200 or more to pay someone else to do your taxes for you? More than ever before, taxpayers now have easy, do-it-yourself tax preparation options that can save them hundreds of dollars while helping them get their refund back fast. 

According to TurboTax, about 85% of early-season tax filers get a refund. And that refund averages about $2,900 according to the IRS. What taxpayers need to know, especially in a tight economy when every penny counts, is that they can easily do their own taxes - in many cases for free.
