This is probably not quite the right time of year for this post. I see: Fillable Forms is closed for the year November 17 was the last day to access accounts, make changes, print or resubmit a rejected return. After November 17, 2022, you will not have access to your Free File Fillable Forms account and your 2021 federal tax return. I would suspect that it will open in this next month or so. Does anybody use free file (https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-f...)? If so, what do they think of it? Why is it better than just sending postal mail (which one has always been able to file for free)? From a security point of view, is it better to send postal mail or have to worry about hackers and filing over the net? Also, note that there is open source software that might work for some people (depends on state and forms needed)? I found: https://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ https://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/ Is there other opensource software?
