I do them myself - zero fees.

Been there, done that several times in the past. Now since they raised the limit owed to $1,000 & my taxes have been reduced I find it much easier to shoot for limit & pay them in one lump before Apr 15. Make a little interest through the year and pay no underpayment or late fees. When I did taxes for others, I never figured out why anyone would let the government use their money for free, just so they got a bigger refund.I needed an extension. What a debacle.
The only reason I could think of would be for something tied to your last years AGI, go ahead and file. Example the covid checks were tied to previous year's taxes somewhat. You could do like my BIL would do, He'd just send his W-2 to the IRS with a note that he couldn't even come close, send me what's left. Bad advice, but he did it for several years.I've always done my own taxes, I'm poor and don't own anything. This year I'm struggling to come up with a reason to file. I certainly don't owe any taxes. So why do I keep bothering?
I thought the IRS stopped accepting (paper) filings ?I've done my/our own taxes since I was 18... for some reason I procrastinated horribly this year, but they'll be sent out tomorrow or Saturday. Yeah, and I do it the old fashioned way... paper and pen and stamp on envelope. I tried online a few years and except for one of those times, it was a nightmare. I want to SEE what's being done for the calculations and I can only do that by doing it myself.
I don't get them in the mail and they're no longer available at the library or post office like in years past... but they definitely accept them. I download the 1040 from irs.gov, print it, and the mailing instructions are there.I thought the IRS stopped accepting (paper) filings ?
I know I never get the forms in the mail any longer . State or Fed.
I get the Federal paper forms (and instructions) at the local library.I thought the IRS stopped accepting (paper) filings ?

Destructive hacking is indeed a crime.The IRS will still accept paper returns. That's never going to end, I don't think. It's a Federal crime to steal mail but no crime (yet) to hack into systems and rewrite tax returns.
What are we doing, as a nation, to not make destructive hacking a Federal crime?
Would you believe that there are still 23,000.000 individual tax returns filed for 2022. It's not 100, 1000 or 100,000. (Source www.irs.gov).The IRS will still accept paper returns. That's never going to end, I don't think.
Fed tax check just cleared my bank this AM. Sent somewhere in Ohio because I owed. Started depositing enough in savings account to cover any obligations pays a little interest monthly (4.25%).I do them myself - zero fees.
