I file my own taxes…this year I finally noticed the credit for my 401K (deferred from my paycheck). I couldn’t figure how to do this form since it does not come with step by step instructions. I hate to pay someone…especially if it ends up with me losing money. I went to the IRS wesite….got no help there on this matter. Any help from you all would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

If you meet the guidelines to claim it, yes it can be worth it. You don’t have to pay someone to do it – just take it one line at a time starting at the top of the form and do what it tells you. If you have a problem with any of the lines, ask again here about what to do with that line.
If you download the form at irs.gov there are instructions on page 2 that will download right along with the form.
