CNet had a recent article on Tax prep software, and they list at least 2 sites
that let you fill out the forms with your browser AND submit electronically.

The article:

     http://www.cnet.com/Content/Reports/Special/Tax/

The 2 sites:

   Web TurboTax Online:  http://www.turbotax.com/webturbotax/
   TaxCut 1040EZ online: http://www.taxcut.com/a1040ez_intro.html

Sounds a little scary to me.
