That’s for federal filing only right? What do you do for your local state taxes?

My state has its own iFile system that works pretty flawlessly as a pseudo-wizard but actually a free fillable form. It expects you to file federal taxes first so your 1040 can be used to fill in the details.

Which state is this and do you mind providing a link?

Not all states have their own income tax

Yeah but those are a small minority -- there is 8. Most of the population lives in states with state-level income taxes.

Those without income taxes have a complex set of sales, property, etc, taxes, and those often come with byzantine exemptions and other rules.
