Started filing by way of turbotax.com. Pleased to learn that the 1040 (and its MA state equivalent) cover both W-2s and the small pile of 1099s I have accrued, so this thing handles them without problem. Holding off on finishing for now, since it sez that I can turn my negative balance into a small refund by stuffing some money into an IRA. I've pressed the right buttons over at NetBank to create a new IRA account, so now I'll wait and see if it'll pop open before the weekend. Whee, exciting.
Also, I ended up unexpectedly filling out a Schedule C form, claiming my technical writing operations as a self-run business. This gives me the opportunity to claim business deductions, something I haven't given any thought to. I bet I can name a few. (Hmm, I certainly bought a lot of coffee while writing those books... and scones, and bagels...)
