Also, for anyone that didnt know.. some states have free File if you make under a certain amount.
My state (NC) was included here's the link.

I used H&R Block through the IRS link and was not charged a dime for either Federal or State.
My taxes were pretty simple/basic. No dependents and most of the questions asked on the step by step pages did not apply to me.
I filed on Jan 22nd for Federal and Jan 28th for State. Got both of my returns by direct deposit on Feb 4.
