Always have to wait on Fidelity for docs until like the end of Feb. Turbo Tax over the last five years or so has gone from 30ish bucks to 80 despite my tax situation not changing (single, no house, only thing keeping me from doing the EZ form is the Fidelity brokerage account). Am thinking about doing mine this year through a service that's free such as www.freetaxusa.com/. Will check it against Turbo Tax and see if it comes up with the same final return value. Anybody have any reason not to use one of the big name tax return websites (TT, H&R Block)?
You're right. A couple of years ago though Fidelity messed up my initial forms and sent revised forms some time around the first couple of weeks of March. Since then I've procrastinated on doing mine until late March / early April just to make sure nothing else shows up in the mail forcing me to amend an initial return.
That's odd. I still pay about $32 for my tax return. I don't add the extra defense just stick with the basic stuff and always have a very low chance of being audited. I'm currently filing Joint Married with mortgage and claiming tuition and fees for my classes at UH. I highly recommend turbo tax, been using it for the past 9 years now.
Only if you import info from a previous Return. Otherwise it's free. Even if you input the info you're looking @ roughly 15min.
You have to make less than 31k for adjusted gross income or make less than 62k if you're in the military and its free.
If you want to do simple tax returns (as the OP stated....) it's free.. no? No state tax if in TX. I used free turbotax when I was in college, so granted I didn't really check into any actual numbers that were needed to qualify.... I see the #'s you stated are for their freedom edition (all states are free), is that the same thing as the Federal Free Edition (all you need in TX)? https://turbotax.intuit.com/modals/absolutezero/ Made less than 100k Don't own a home or rental property Didn't sell investments Don't own a business or have 1099 income Don't have major medical expense
For anyone who already received their return, what time of day was the refund issued? Was it random throughout the day or was it right at midnight? Just curious.
Filed this morning and it has already been approved. Now I'll wait for my "massive" return! Better than paying, I suppose.
Anyway to cheat the system to get a bigger return? I could use some considering we probably don't get a pay raise again in O & G
