Unless you own Real Estate, Stocks, Bonds and varied and sundry sources of income you can file the 1040 EZ or 1040 short form. All you need are all of your 1099 statements from your employers all your interest income forms from any banks  or financial institutions and your EZ or short form. It's when you start getting multiple source of income and property and start saving reciepts for deductions and stuff that you have to start using the complicated forms.

If you're young, don't own much and work one or two jobs. 1040 Short or 1040 EZ is all you need file, federally and the same for state depending on whether you live in a state that requires taxes each year. Some do, Missouri, Some don't, Texas.

I always did my own taxes on the 1040 Short form until the year after I bought my first house. Then it was long form and someone else doing it all the way!
