Not intended to be an exhaustive list, this is primarily a compilation of tax sites that have received press coverage in recent weeks. I also threw in a few other discoveries of my own. The IRS site is easy to navigate and has become more user-friendly over the years. Tax Prophet has cropped up in previous years on my list and has the advantage of being run by a tax attorney. TaxSites has also been on my list before, in other incarnations. If you can only bookmark one site, this is it.
