How Taxing

Bah.  So much for free filing of state taxes in Virginia.  The state just passed a law so that online tax filing will be handled by private businesses. 

For the record, the free online filing cost the state a little under $49,200 per year to maintain.  The estimated cost to process paper tax forms is $1 per form, so it'll end up costing the state more, but of course, that cost'll get passed on to the taxpayers.

It won't affect me this year since I already did my taxes, but next year there'll be a fee to file them online.  I guess it's back to paper forms.
