Since you don't make much money you probably qualify for using one of the online programs for free. They will all take you through basically the same set of questions that H&R block would ask you and fill out the forms and submit them electronically.

That being said, I would highly recommend going to your local library and/or post office and getting the old fashion tax forms and booklet (I would suggest 1040A assuming you don't want to itemize). You will also want a schedule L(for the car tax credit) and M, and the appropriate state forms and booklet. Do your taxes yourself, and compare it to what the tax program gives you(they all let you print out filled in forms when your done).

If you take your time and look through the instruction book taxes are not hard, but many things about them are ridiculous and I think everyone should know that and express it to their representatives.

Also, I recommend TurboTax software or online. Just don't wait until the last moment because it gets busy online during the last week or so.
