North Carolina Gov. Mike Easley announced that, for the first time, many North Carolina taxpayers will be able to file their state tax returns electronically at no cost (free e-file). The service is available to taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of up to $50,000.
"Free E-File will make preparing tax returns simpler and faster," said Easley. "This electronic option offers an efficient alternative to paper filings, and the new partnership will make it easier and more affordable for taxpayers to file online."
