Filing Taxes for 2006
Does anyone know of any good e-file tax programs online for the 2006 filing season?
Last year I went to the IRS website and used their link to TurboTax - it was cheap and easy, but it seems this avenue is closed to me as they are only for households who made less than $50K in 2005.
I went to H&R Block for about 4 years but they were gradually getting exorbitant, so I was glad to see the IRS provide a few different options last year.
Thanks for any pointers.

There's TurboTax and TaxCut. Both will happily work if you have a household income of >$50k/yr.

Also, if you deduct, the cost of having your taxes prepared is a dedduction.
