I have paid to efile my federal and state taxes with TurboTax for nearly 7 years and I am a chump. After learning about the free tax solutions for people who make under a certain amount of income each year, I filed for free for the first time (and I'm kicking myself for not knowing I could have done it for free for all those years)!
This IRS page with free filing solutions walks you through a wide-range of different software solutions for efiling depending on your income level (e.g. TurboTax is free for those who make under $33k/year).
P.S. Another tip (regardless of income level) - if you end up owing a fair amount of taxes and have saved up the money to do so, pay the bill initially with a rewards credit card so that you can get points for the big payment. Then pay off the charge completely with the money you saved for your tax payment at the end of the month. It's an easy way to get some decent cash rewards or airline miles for something you have to pay for anyways.
Edit: fixed the link.
