Here I am still wondering why we have to do this goofy stuff with taxes, when other countries deduct taxes as you earn..

Guess i could work on my taxes since im stuck at home for another month

I can't believe that they hid IRA contributions in "show more." I completely blew past it and now I have to file an amended return.

I used turbotax to file my taxes this tax season and it's easy to use I like it. No appointment needed and it's at your own pace environment which I do like

Thank you for recording this video. I want to try TurboTax and was intimidated. I usually pay an account and I pay a few hundred dollars to do so. Thank you very much.

There's a few reasons for choosing TurboTax even at the inflated price but for most people, I don't think it is a worth it. If you use Mint it might import all of your 1099's for you with a single log on. But as with any import feature, if the bank or investment company does not support the software, it won't work and you must enter numbers manually anyway. The other reason that probably won't apply for college investor is that TurboTax Premier is absolutely the only consumer tax software that can figure out cost basis of uncovered stocks or mutual fund even after splits and mergers and dividend reinvestment (bought prior to 2011 or 2012 were NOT tracked by the investment company for you so the 1099's would not show the cost basis). Apparently, Intuit got a cut rate version of Gainskeeper software that can do that. Online version is really expensive because it only takes one capital gain and you must file a schedule D which requires the premier edition on the online version. If you got the download/CD version, you can get away with Deluxe version even if you have a schedule D. With the download/CD version, it comes with 5 e-file so if you have more than one tax return to complete, it might be better than using online version. The strange thing is that if you use online version, it is just as difficult to switching to download/CD version as it is to switch to a different tax software entirely. So choose carefully because you may feel the pain later. I'd probably not do the free version because Creditkarma or freetaxusa (if you live in the 7 states without state income tax) is also free and if your income rises afterwards and your tax situation becomes more complex, if you started with TurboTax, it'll get pricier and harder to switch out of.

I still STILL have no received my tax return for 2019. I filed through turbotax. I was last informed that my refund was in a bank in California (SBTPG) but SBTPG tells me my ssn is invalid. I can not find a representative to assist me. I've contacted IRS.
And was informed that they have already issued a check to TurboTax for my refund. I'm not sure why turbotax keep telling me to call IRS if they have already informed me that SBTPG is holding my money.

My Turbo Tax fee when from $129, to $220. Pay close attention to the up charges that mysteriously pop up. I will use a tax preparer next year for that price. There was a huge oversight that Turbo Tax missed that cause problems. They did not correct the previous year's AGI. It was wrong. I don't know how they put the wrong number as I did not use Turbo Tax last year.

[rockybeats]

Started to file with turbo tax and almost 20% of my refund is going to turbotax fees. Looking for other options.

Premier or win/mac is $54 at Costco state and federal included plus stock sales

[joshwee]

I live in Florida. It didn't ask for my 1095A form from the marketplace

[joshwee]

Wait and file with form 1095A also form 8962

[GlorifiedTruth]

Here's a better idea. Take $120, flush it down the toilet, and file using paper forms. It's cheaper, it can't be any more screwed up, and you won't be sending your money to criminals.

[waragainstmyself]

Im looking for cheap and easy lol im just now filing.

I've lived in FL and GA, worked a normal job and contractor work, I didn't file last year, had a couple months of unemployment and had a baby. Should I just go to HR Block and let them file for me or is it possible with turbotax online version?
