I’m planning to handle my taxes myself this year instead of hiring a professional. For someone who doesn’t have complicated finances, what’s the easiest and most reliable way to file taxes? Should I use online software, free IRS tools, or just paper file? Also, any tips for avoiding common mistakes when filing on your own?
