This is actually 2 questions. 1) Using Turbo Tax and 2) filing
electronically. I am using Turbo Tax to calculate all the numbers and such,
but I haven't decided yet on printing the return and mailing it in or going
electronically. I used MacInTax for years, always printed and mailed - just
felt more comportable with a paper receipt in case IRS lost something. It's
also good for doing the state tax returns, CA's is worse than the federal,
and those can't be filed electronically, yet.
I do believe, however, that you can file electronically without paying or
depositing (if you're lucky enough to be due a refund) electronically.
