1) Can I file my federal taxes online with software and 1040a or EZ form?
2) Can I file my state taxes online with software, separately for both AZ and MI? If not how is that going to work?
3) Since I bought a house with my girlfriend, how does she file?
4) Are there any special credits for buying a house in 2011?
I have:
One W-2 from Arizona
Two W-2’s from Michigan (my current location)
I withdrew from my 401k (and had them withhold the proper taxes for me)
I bought a house in 2011
I’m not married, but bought the house jointly with my girlfriend who also has:
One W-2 from Arizona
Two W-2’s from Michigan (her current location)
She withdrew from her 401k (and had them withhold the proper taxes)
I don’t think I need to itemize. I’ve provided all details I can think of, no other expenses, no other strange circumstances, no child support, non-military, just a plain ol’ person.

I’m looking into doing gaming as well as graphics designing and some heavy-duty IT Stuff. I hook up customer HDDs and scan 2 simultaneously, 1 with MSE, and 1 with another software, this combined with running Adobe Photoshop, playing some hard-core games and copying GBs of data at the same time- I hope to get a machine that will be able to handle this kind of work daily. Trying to keep the cost under $1,200 WITH Tax
BTW Please feel free to speak up, I can raise the budget a bit if it’ll result in a substantial boost in performance-I want this to pay for itself.
Here it is:

I don’t feel comfortable being involved in all that, therefore I want to expose it. What are the correct legal ways of contacting those who may be concerned in order to get things right? Thanks.

You can hear the music stuttering when it is on, you can see the lag on games/videos, when moving mouse around you can see it freeze then move again?!
I have got Norton 360 v5, so not a virus problem, I have cleaned the registry, bought a fresh copy of Windows 7, defragged hard drive and so on… is this a hardware or software problem ?
Specs;
i7 2600k
8GB RAM
GTX 580
P8P67 Deluxe
1TB WD Hard Drive (making weird noise lately… possible broken fan?)
60GB SSD
PCI WiFi Adapter (disconnecting from internet more reguarly)
850W PSU (coolermaster)
Thanks for any help

This completely freezes my computer to the point where i cant even open the task manager all I am able to do is move to mouse, I have to reset it everytime.
Why does it do this? Can I turn off these background tasks, what are they even doing?

I recently had a trojan and someone here had me DL TSSkiller and that infected me with 9 trojans!
Anyway I don’t go to porn sites EVER. I don’t download any videos except once in a while from youtube via zamzar. But I do a lot of research and click links. Shouldn’t the AV catch all that??? I noticed one time I clicked a pic it was on a blog and that got a pop up that started scanning my laptop. I aborted it but after that I got the Google Redirect Virus.
Besides my AV and Malwarebytes how can I surf the net safely? My research does involve clicking unknown links. I have MSE (since neither Norton, McAfee nor AVG caught the trojans when a scan and MSE did). How can I get that thing where it goes green tick mark next to the good sites on Google?
Thanks!
