Well, at least the state itself offers a complicated web interface for filing online. Bah, all that's available for my country are some specifications for me to implement...

Also, I owed Florida some money for something and took care of that online for free too. I love Quicken and it looks like TurboTax has already gotten some nods... try it Last year I did mine and my girl friend's for free through Quicken somehow.

It could be a little more, but Trish says it's real easy. Turbo tax is $20 for the basic service. It could be a little more, but Trish says it's real easy.

I've used it for a few years and made a mistake of trying another service last year. The majority of the service consists of a sensible Q&A interview; you never have to see the actual forms. Finally, after you have completed the e-file, you can download (in PDF format) the various forms that represent what you would have submitted had you filed via paper. The forms have been beautifully filled out in Courier with your information. I'm sure that other services offer this, but the overall quality and form of Turbo Tax's solution is a compelling reason to repeatedly use their service and recommend it to others.
