Hi Mike, I don't understand your first question. If you are filing an individual return, I would not think you'd put 2 for blindness exclusions? As to your second question, I live in New York State, and to file on-line costs R$7.95. The first federal return is free with the stand alone software. Les

Hi les and Vicki. I'm wondering about tax filing online. When you file your taxes and include your blind dependents say 2 if your filling just for yourself do you have to file a long form or do you just put 2 in there? also is there a state form free like the federal ones are?
