<p>I’ve always just used TurboTax for my taxes. It’s a pretty simple program that just asks you questions & then does all the calculations. There is a free federal version of turbotax you can do online from the turbotax website, but the state ones aren’t there.</p>
<p>I don’t know the income limits like the other posters, so I’m hoping they are correct. If you received anything in the mail over the past couple months that says “IMPORTANT TAX DOCUMENT” - like a W2 (work income) or a 1099-INT (bank interest), then you should probably be filing taxes, using the info on those forms. You might have also received forms from your school denoting how much you paid in tuition, or money you got in scholarships (1098-T).</p>
<p>If you are total lost & confused & for some reason or another don’t want to go to your local IRS office (I had no idea they’d do it for free if you made under 40K), then you can always pay a company like H&R block to do it for you - just bring everything you think you might possibly need regarding your income & your identity.</p>
