Here is a listing of the best online tax software out thereTax Brain is a service that helps you through your tax return. You set up your profile and answer some questions.

If you want to get more money back on your return, you should consider starting a small business. I started a business for under $400 as an Ambit Energy marketing consultant and that has opened up thousands of dollars a year of tax write-offs. On top of that I am making some money. You should be able to find many businesses that cost less than $500 to start and are worth many times that to you in increased tax returns even if you don’t make a penny from the business.

One thing to remember when using tax software is that you are not getting tax advice. If you are going to be claiming exotic deductions or write off business expenses, you really should get help from a professional. These programs are great if you are just going to use the standards deductions like mortgage interest, student loan interest, etc.
