The past 2 years I've filed on turbo tax I've had to pay. With nothing changing how i do my taxes, i bit it last year because i moved to a different state which i get, but this year living in my changed state all year is like living in my last state. My refunds have gotten smaller and smaller year by year. I will not be using turbotax anymore. It is not free, its trash. Thank you for a 3rd option as I was to fill out a 2nd headache.

Came to this video after turbo tax was going to charge me $342 for a single file and only 1 1098 form!

Not gonna lie I did my taxes last year using turbo taxes in January 2024 and I didn’t receive them until October 2024

Does Turbotax free have a max income cap? Does it include passing property tax, charitable contributions to the state form? Still a standard deduction but need these values for the state. ??

Hello, great video. I have a w-2, a 1099 of Robinhood, a 1098-E of Discover, and a 1098-T for my university. But also I had some crypto and forex to repor, which in both I ended up losing money. Which one do you recommend me to use?

[ldushun]

Does free tax USA offer direct deposit of refunds? Also is city taxes included with state when filed or is there a separate fee of 14.99?

Is it true that in 2024 H&R Block spent over 3 million dollars lobbying to keep the government from having a free digital filing application?

I have a 1099 and a 401K would Cash App be a good option out of the 3
