this is so good for people without alot of money. I was so glad to see it. I see this going on all across the U.S.
texting
oops, yes, my mistake. You are supposed to text BEST (not BESTFREE) to 62407. That will get you to vote on the best free things in life. If you browse around you can also see a link to the IRS free file site. Sorry for the confusion :(

Haven't been able to verify the texting portion of the last comment. Has anyone heard about this? I'd just advise finding out more information before texting that number.
free tax filing
In regards to free tax filing: I tried the IRS offers free filing at http://www.irs.gov/efile/article/0,,id=118986,00.html and it is really easy. You have to make under $56K though.
They also offer a freebie where if you text BESTFREE to 62407 and vote for what you think the best free things in life you can download free wallpaper to your phone. Kinda cute game for a government agency.
