Well it's not exactly free. They charge for one of them. I can't remember which, but it's like federal is free then you pay for state.

I always buy the extra support and audit guarantee too since it's so cheap.

Even with all of those extras it's still way cheaper than TurboTax.

A sherdogger told me about it a couple years ago. Might have been you.

Iirc the state came out to like 30 bucks when I used them but this was many years ago i was making way less money so I actually got a refund. I have a tax lady now to do my taxes as they are more complex I have a side gig that is 1099 form and a w-2 job.
 
I make quarterly tax payments and each year the accountant tells me how much my estimated has increased...

How do you handle your taxes?

Personally, I've been using freetaxusa for the past couple years. I figure it's fine since I don't own a business and I just take the standard deduction.

What do you guys use? And do you itemize? Do you pay some fancy accountant? Or do you use some meth-addicted 19-year old from H&R Block?

Any good tips to share?

I used that one last year, it was fine. Prior to that I was doing my own using Turbo Tax but they charge way too much. I kind of liked it when I was a contractor in tech. They didn't take taxes out of my check so I had a savings account where I'd just put 40% of my check until it came time to pay the tax man.

Is it really free? I've been using Turbotax and they take to much. I only need Federal filing married.

One of the fillings is free, I think it's the federal one. And they make their money off the state filing which isn't free but it's pretty cheap.

Then you can pay extra bucks for some kind of audit support, where they help you if you get audited. I want you say that's $20. And the whole thing is so cheap that I usually buy that too.

I think I end up paying like $40-50 when it's all said and done. But if you're only doing federal and you don't buy anything extra then yeah it should be free

My employer does my income taxes monthly, and tax body sends me a bill to pay yearly for property tax. Here, you don't have to do shit unless you are an enterpreneur, very rich and need to declare something, or want an exemption.
 
Nothing's ever free via kindness. Someone's incurring big costs to make this stuff and want compensation so are likely selling your personal and financial info as many times to as many buyers as possible.

I can never find enough deductions to make itemizing worth it, but I don't own a business

Some shady CPA's have the uncanny ability to take taxpayers like you and make up gigantic fake deductions sometimes in perfectly round numbers. If the tax authority had some sort of competent worker look at the tax return, they'd realize it's highly unlikely those big deductions are real.
