How do I do a practice filing?

[JustinC]

If you are very careful you can use your account to see how things will turn out trying different claims. If you do this it is important that you do not agree to pay for the service, until you are  certain you are ready. As soon as it asks are you sure you want to register this you need to back out, preferably before that point, but definitely do not go past it.

I would also recommend creating a dummy account for this, and not entering a social security number, this prevents any accidental filings.

Once you have gotten an idea of how those line of options will go, you can clear & start over. This starts the process over again and you can try other things.

If you register, or pay anything it will not allow you to clear and start over.
