Free File Program for Professional Preparers

[PIGLEE]

I just received a postcard advertising Free Federal Online Tax Preparation and E-Filing if you prepare 1,000 returns or less. Does anyone know what this is about? What program they use? I went on their website and don't know to much more. www.1040freefile.net. They also have a number 800.683.3729.

I trust them about as far as I can throw them...... Remember, you get what you pay for in this great country.

I don't trust companies that try to trick you into thinking they are the IRS.
