1099 Software

You can take advantage of your office or home based software to file taxes.
Software for different levels of tax difficulty is available and you might find some free on line tax filing software.

One reason that I say this is the case of a 1099 form. You can not download one and use it. The government forbids it because the red ink isn't useful for their own purposes. So use tax filing software or file on line.
