My son Hank, who is now 18 and graduated last year, worked some over the Summer and Fall... and although it wasn't much, it was enough to file taxes this year for the first time (even though he didn't have to) and get most of his money back.
I went on-line last night to do his taxes (at a very well known tax service) and e-file them for him. The federal e-file was free, but when I got to the state, they wanted $27.50 to e-file.
I had been texting back and forth with a good friend, and when I mentioned this, she said I should check the Oregon State website to see what they had to say.
Turns out...plenty...
If you qualify, and use the links from the Oregon site, you can e-file your federal and state for free!
Here's the link
I'm pretty sure tons of people don't know about this.....it saved Hank $27.50 ....and the thing is, I used the same tax service as before, but through the state of Oregon site...it was free!
Happy Returns! ;-)
