Do not buy the software because it will cost you less and save money if you use the popular programs like Turbo Tax (turbotax.com) TaxAct (taxact.com) or TaxCut (taxcut.com). All these support e-filing. Use these programs and save money.
2. Retirees: Save money and save

3. Hurricane relief for all.
Congress has passed a tax bill that benefits those who lived in the hurricane affected area and all Americans who helped. For hurricane victims, you can deduct your casualty losses. For hurricane volunteers who drove, you can claim 34 cents a mile and if you housed victims for at least 60 days in a row, you can deduct $500 per person (four max) and gifts made to any charity after August 28, 2005 are fully deductible, even if they exceed 50% 0f your AGI.
4. Child Tax credits
You can take the full $1,000 credit for a child under 17 years of age as long as your AGI is under $110,000 for a married couple or $75,000 for a single parent.
