Any number of ways: There is (or will be) a link to ways to do it for free, online, at www.irs.gov. Personally, I prefer buying anyone of the many software pachkages (Tax Cut and TurboTax) which are normally available pretty inexpensively ($20) and soing them on your own PC. These walk you through step by step and explain options, etc. By doing it this way, you also begin to leartn what is important and what effect things may have. The first time, it may take a few hours...in years after that (because you understand more and the info from the prior year just carries over - reducing inputting...and reminding, even asking you "last year you had an account with interest received from ABC Bank...why not this year?" Of course, you can just do it the old fashioned way, go to any Library or USPS and get the forms and do them by hand. Especially if it is a basic return, and especially if your not itemizing, this is pretty easy.
