Great, I usually do my taxes with turbotax and end up paying $50

I have used this for years with no problems.. The H&R Block Software is pretty easy to use.. Includes Free E-File..

I just used it, worked great for both federal and state. No charges whatsoever.

Just filed, it will be submitted on 1/30. Thanks OP! Last year, I also filed free with H&R Block, thanks to a deal posted here on SD, but I waited until the last minute. This year, I'm early. :)

Great! Thanks!

great I'm glad I could help

This would be perfect for my sister. Thanks.

I am retired and have no earned income. However with SS, pension, and investment income, I am over $57,000 -- do I still qualify?

*edit* nevermind, lol. Sorry.

Thanks OP!

Or the "Make less than $57k/year thread....lol

Isn't this the same criterial as the Trubo Tax Freedom program?

What about for people married filing jointly, does the 57k still apply?

i've been using freetaxusa.com which is free for federal but $10 for state. this is better. thank you. :)

True slickdealers do not file taxes.

True SDers earn more than $57k...

Does this work with Capital Gains?

True slickdeakers earn more than 57K and still don't file taxes.

True SDers don't even work...


lol j/k

Doesn't E-File start on January 30?

You can submit them before then, they just won't start processing until the 30th

Yes,I believe so

Here's a direct link, you can pass going to "thebeehive" website.

Copy and paste in your browser:

isn't 57k a year minimum wage these days? :rolleyes: :lol: That seems like a burger king or walmart salary.

True SDers pay more than $57k in taxes...

My parents both work full time, at a printing company (father) and dish washing (mother) and their combined yearly wage is about 50k

Edit: I should state that mother's job doesn't pay on school breaks, so no work during summer and over christmas breaks...

If we were TRUE SDers we would start a SD church and not even THINK about taxes. Hey, if Scientology can pull it off so can we! Selma can be the high priestess.....

True SDers buy $57k worth of goods off sd annually...

What does HRBlock get out of having people use their software for free?

Minimum wage is something like $7 an hour. A 57k salary a year is about $27.50 an hour (40 hour work week)... more than some teachers make after getting a masters degree....

We have a rental property, but our earned income is less than $57000, Will I be able to file with this free version?

thanks op

I don't work and hubby makes less than 57k. We live very comfortably with two children. We live in a capitol city and have a 2200 sq foot 4 bedroom house built in 2008.

A true SDer doesn't have any DEBT.

If you think that is a walmart salary, maybe you should contact your congressman, because my husband has been deploying every other year on behalf of the country and our freedoms...... for a walmart salary.

usually make money off of businesses. get this deal for free tax filing this year, next year you might not get the deal but like their software so file through them at a cost. + word of mouth

If minimum wage is $8.25, and you somehow get 40 hours at a place like Burger King or Walmart every week for a year, your take home pay after taxes is $15,847.26.

I guess you were only about $42,000 off or so :shake:

Probably should hold off on labeling a certain amount of money someone makes as a joke. It makes you look like you make a lot more money than you probably deserve to make.

good find

So is this better than turbotax?

it's a really great service has tips, free federal and state e-file

Lots of people have already corrected you but it seems like theres plenty more where that came from. Whats with all the romneys on this forum? unfortunately not all of us were able to have our parents pay for college, and then employ us afterwards to run the business they started, or better yet just give us stocks to sell and call it our own money.

SLAM!

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr...o1_400.gif

While many of you are joking about 57k/yr being low, don't forget that some of us are in college ;)

Thanks OP for this deal! Already broke from books this semester!

I must be blind. How do you add a second W2?

EDIT:

Nevermind, found it.

Can I file city taxes for free too?

There are many of volunteers that does taxes for the IRS. Just look up the VITA sites around your area. Those volunteers knows all the new tax laws and credits. If you dont want to do it yourself there are free professional help out there.. I was a volunteer for a couple years but i am getting my CPA degree so I have to stop doing it because school is getting HARDER..

Although I liked both candidates, this seems like the perfect time for a Romney joke...

I can't even think of any friends that make less than $60k off the top of my head other than myself (and I have no income :sadwalk:).

I'm shocked at how ignorant some people are. Not everyone makes more than 57K, and if you make less, you're not necessarily working at Walmart. My wife and I make a combined income of less than 57k, don't make car payments, and don't have student loans, and have a comfortable home to live in.

This may be a dumb question but its "earned income" considered gross income or net income?

Awesome find! Gonna pass this on to my ex.

Apparently no one is allowed to be in school or have a disability on this forum, or come from a family that didn't have much. The people on here looking down on people that don't make 57k are the same people that tip 10%.

You need to learn how to do basic math.

$8 (minimum wage in CA) * 40 hour = $320 * 4 week = $1,280 * 12 mon = $15,360/year/person. $15,360 * 2 person = $30,720 (gross pay).

Plus, do you think Burger King / Walmart let most of their employees work 40 hour?

Not since obamacare.

Am I missing something here? or do people not know this is an IRS thing, not an H&R Block thing?

http://www.irs.gov/uac/Free-File%...s-for-Free

Agreed with you. People needs to make less than 35K/year to qualify... I think.

Here is the link to VITA and will add it to WIKI.

http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Fi...e-Tax-Prep

Anyone who makes less than 57k can't afford a computer to see this deal. TD very irresponsible post op

I don't get why people comment about anothers income. If every person earned the same income, we would be living in a socialist state. If the deal doesn't apply to you, its better to not comment than to waste your time posting irrelevant info. Now if you have useful information to add pertaining to the deal go ahead, but so far 90% of the posts do not add or provide additional info on the deal.

Now I just went through the link and it seems pretty good. First time filing though, so I cant compare to anything else. And pretty much everything are 0s for me so I cant comment on how informative the itemized deductions are. I have to file to reap the benefits next year by saving over $2500 in student loan payments per month that will be forgiven courtesy of other US taxpayers.

Now this is something useful. I wish I went through this link.

This one might be a little better:

http://www.freefile.irs.gov/

wow.. you really are a dumbfark. :rolleyes: :shake:


separated at birth perhaps?

TurboTax usually does free file for Fedral every year. This is the first time i've seen anyone offer a free state e-file. TU!

for those that dont qualify and still want free state e-file:

http://slickdeals.net/f/5780136-F...ed-within?

It's 51k this year last year was 48k cut off but if u make around $20 that is roughly 40k a year. Not many people that makes $20 and up go to a VITA site to let us prepare their taxes..

I remember using this last year and it was great. Thanks for the link because I have been looking all over for it!

Now time to pass this to my parents, sister, aunt, dog and friends! :woot:

The more math you know the least you wish to make money at the rat race. Perelman refused $1 mln award.

If we use this one, that means we are still poor, under 57,000
LOL

The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.

- John Walter Wayland

Came here to say this. Post Obamacare yearly earnings @ minimum wage = $7.25/hr x 28hr/wk x 52wk/yr = $10,556 before taxes.

Places that pay close to minimum wage don't want to spend thousands a year on health insurance for each employee, so come 2014 they won't have any full time employees. 28 hours per week is the most low-earners will get. At least they'll get Medicaid coverage...

I'm sorry but I have to say this, so many people got trolled by that comment!

great quote

Can we get a clarification here on "earned"? Are we talking about gross or take-home?

I clicked on a free turbo tax link but they upsell you big time. Its $19.99 for federal and they try to upsell you to the better packages. I fell for it last year but many people say you dont need the more expensive ones, the cheaper ones will still import stock trades & such.

The difference between the free & the $19.99 one is the free one, they dont keep & use last years data & you have to manually enter everything again.

So I might go with H&R this year. When the rest of my 1099s get here.

TaxHawk.com always keep and reuse your last year data for free.

Never heard of them. Is it as good as turbotax ?

Much better, IMHO. Jumped over there from TaxAct and never looked back again.

Can they import my stock trades from fidelity ?

I would guess earned means gross income.

But, I have none. All my income is from stock gains & interest & dividends.

So apparently I can get this deal even if my total income is over $57k, but it wont be for 2012.

I don't know, I guess they might, I saw something about it on their website. Why don't you check it out yourself?

So is mine. IRS defines it as 'unearned income'.

I will...when I get all my info by mail and am ready to do my taxes.

Thanks

I work hard for my stock gains. Nothing "unearned" about it. Ticks me off too that I cant add to my ira with unearned income.

Is this version good for homeowners? I bought the deluxe version last year because it had options for mortgage interest deduction and such.

There is no work and nothing 'earned' in stocks, IMHO. Stealing also requires time and effort, even 'hard' but they don't call it 'work' and 'earned' (yet). I agree with the IRS. There's no gain for society, and speculations is a pure evil, again in my humble opinion. Please don't take it personal, it is just a general thought.

Investments are not automatically speculations. Companies raise capital to fuel growth by going public. Without the public money, many companies could not grow.

Now, there is some element of gambling with any investment. But, Ive earned FAR more investing...and I do a lot of work to find the best stocks, than I did from working....back when I did work.

But,Im ok with the IRS calling it unearned too.

My IRA...I think I might have put in $20-24k $2000 at a time way back when I was working.

Its current value is over $300k.

But, it was over $300k 5 years ago and it feel to $200k or something so I got whacked something terrible.

But, bottom line is $200-300 is a lot more than that it would have been had it been in CDs.

Of course, I get taxed on that money if & when I take it out. Its not a roth.

I don't even check my 401(k) and IRA. I just don't care. You don't get it, do you, right?

You don't get it, do you, right?

Not sure what you mean by the above.

Well, now we know who here makes less than 57k!

Damn. missed the offer by $28 gross revenue.

So the 57K requirement is gross not AGI? I know Turbotax Freedom edition is based on AGI not gross ...

$57k/yr means very different things in different places across the country... some of the snobby responses on this thread are asinine. These are the same people who make $75k/yr and delusionally think they're in the upper class.

my wife makes more than that, I am way over that - fail

thanks OP

It's AGI, and the limit is set by the IRS. There are multiple places to file for free.

http://www.freefile.irs.gov/

Forget it. TaxHawk.com is really great, the best though. Has that 57K limitation though as all do.

We share a copy of Turbotax between few office friends and lower our individual cost. Last year three of us shared a copy of Turbotax.

This, you nimrod^^^

You laugh, presumably because you make more than that but how you can hold a job that nets you more income is a mystery considering you don't have the knowledge of basic mathematics. :omg:

Um, I'm pretty sure the person who said $57k a year was a Walmart salary was joking. I least I think so.

Oh well, not everyone who makes a decent middle class wage has their parents to thank and not everyone who makes less is/didn't work hard. Sometimes life happens. Can we stop with the generalizations?

I selected a paid form when I first got my tax info to get an idea of what my return might be... now I can't find a way to switch forms to the free one or start over.

Anyone know how to do it?

TIA!

You guys are being awesome about helping people find what they need,kudos

if u took a year off and didn't work at all, do u still gotta file taxes?

assume no other income etc etc

THANK YOU for posting this list. This should answer almost all of the "If I have XYZ, will this program work for me?" Nice to see a helpful post among all the busy comments.

More than a lot of people make after earning a PhD (or even an MD during residency and fellowship).

I just entered my information today. In shock that this service is showing my return as $1k higher than Turbo Tax, which I pay to use every year.

Never paying for TT ever again!

really :confused:
That doesn't sound good at all as I used TT for the past 4yrs...might have to get a double check on my previous returns.

meh not as good as taxact online. hr block says i owe california money while taxact says i get money back

Repped. Thank you for posting this. God bless you and your family, and thank you to your husband for his service to our country.

Depending on where you live, your city may prepare your city taxes for free. For example, where I live on the city's tax page, it is listed that you can make an appointment to have them file your city tax for free. Huge YMMV as I live in a suburb, but just a heads up. Here's the link for proof. Last question at the bottom.

http://www.fairfield-city.org/tax/quick.cfm

Same federal results and less state on here versus TT, so even with paying a fee to file state via TT, I'd still make out through them. Gotta love TT! :)

Nice, thanks, saved a good deal of money with them this year vs turbotax.

Just want to chime in here about the demographics and the idiots posting comments ridiculing hard-working people's salaries - my husband and I lived in Miami and needed literally double the income to live comfortably there that we need to live in the rural area where we now live. In this rural area, on half our previous income, we have a home that's twice as big as the one we owned in the city, acreage, a boat, and other recreational vehicles. Public schools are good here, in fact, our son is enrolled in a Chinese immersion program about 4 miles away with excellent teachers. We travel to Europe to visit family; last summer, I stayed for a month. Property taxes and home insurance are literally a fraction of the cost in FL. Yes, if we made more, we would certainly be even more comfortable (or just buy more $hit, like most people do), but it's ignorant to think that you can't have a nice life in some areas on $57k or less. In this economy, we feel thankful to have an income, a warm house, and a full refrigerator.

Those of you trying to make people sound/feel like failures for not making what you think they should are clearly insecure about something.




...AND, I'm posting this from my new laptop I got for a crazy deal, courtesy of SD, which I use when I'm not on my SD deal iPad.

I don't qualify since i'm not poor

In for the under 20K a year club!.. ugh .. I mean free tax filing.

Should one use this free program if you own a house?

No, but they'll give you free money if you do.

/murica

how could anybody own and maintain a house on a poverty income of <$57k?

preach it sistah!

lol @ poor people and their romantic aphorisms

Will it work for almost 6 figures?

sincerely doubt that

no, this is for losers like teachers, enlisted military, & janitors

They give anyone a good job now. :p

So you create new account just for trolling around? Get a life or a job.

LOL. Damn the truth hurts.

Hey....WHO TOLD YOU YOU COULD USE THE COMPUTER?

GET BACK TO WORK! Those burgers won't flip themselves.





Lol@ wannabes and their pithy sense of humor.

Damn, couldn't file today, have to do it tomorrow. Yay, getting back a good chunk of money.

nice job of failing to claim enough exemptions & giving the gov't an interest-free loan

Is this thing pretty good at spotting all the deductions?

My uncle makes over $250k year at Wal-Mart. Imagine that.

Did you know that approximately 70% of all taxpayers have an AGI of $57,000 or less?

My wife is a special education teacher. Yes she doesn't make a lot, but she makes a huge difference in the lives of the students she teaches. I'm proud of her and her students appreciate all the extra time she puts in to ensure they do the best they can.

For you to label teachers as losers means that you are truly ignorant of the fact that sometimes people do things for the love of it - not the money.

Oh behalf of all the teachers on SD - go take a class on manners!

Quote from gunskill
no, this is for losers like teachers, enlisted military, & janitors

The truth is that you have no idea of what you are talking about.

My wife is a teacher... and she does it for the love of it. Not the money.

My brother was enlisted military. He did it for the experience and to prepare him for college. He also protected your right to speak your mind or write what you want even if it is as lame as your statement above.

By the way did you know there are janitors who make over $100K a year in New York City

http://www.nypost.com/p/news/loca...202QAPiVZP

Isn't that because 100k is at poverty line in NYC with high cost of living?

Phi Alpha

My brother, I was speaking on the notion of self-realization & as a joking matter. I recently received my teaching credential. I have taught and am looking for a full time job as a teacher. I too love to teach and have to defend the profession daily.

I have friends that are in the military. I have the upmost respect for them and all others who serve.

And yes, I am aware that some janitors are very well off.

I always knew janitors made good money (not from word of mouth) after once seeing my middle school sweeper driving a Corvette to work and park next to a Volvo wagon driven by the top English teacher in school. For the whole day I though that's what I want to be when I grow up.

Did you know that approximately 70% of all taxpayers have an AGI of $57,000 or less?

the disclaimer is what I was referring to:

* Forms not supported by Free Edition product.


although - if you enter H&R's free system by first going through the free file alliance website, this restriction is apparently not in effect...

will try this soon. thanks

The OP's link is for a different edition than the federal free edition link via the IRS.

I attempted to log in (using the same info as my log in for the link provided by OP) to the link via the IRS and got the following message:

Completing Your Return
You've selected our Free File program through the IRS Free File Alliance. However, your account is currently with H&R Block Basic.

What do you want to do?


-Continue using H&R Block Basic and pay for my tax preparation, if applicable
Use Free File through the IRS Free File Alliance and get a free federal return
I meet these qualifications:
Adjusted gross income (AGI) of $57000 or less
52 years of age or younger
-I’ll re-enter my personal information and tax data.

Poverty line? Not even close. It's middle class for NYC.

I'm right on the cusp. Does earned income refer to bonuses and/or benefits like insurance that my employer pays for?

I am not sure about insurance but bonus is definitely part of your income.

They also pay for 401K. If that and insurance don't count, I'm just under.

If you run into an error adding multiple 1098-E, the student interest credits, there is an error. The fix is to temporarily change your filing status from "single" to "married filing jointly", and then using the "go to section" button to add the additional 1098-E. Once set, use "go to" to change it back to "single", and then step through the entire process by hitting "next" until you're back at the 1098-E step.

Had to call tech support on that one.

Just filed my taxes, thanks OP.

It's showing $27.95 to do my state return.I made less than 20k.

Damn, I passed this over to my sister last week, she filed early, and they were approved by the IRS on Wednesday and said she could expect a deposit on Feb. 5th, however she just sent me a text that her return has already been deposited into her checking account tonight at 9pm (showing a deposit date of 2/4 though the funds are already available for use, so deposited by the bank earlier I assume) . Now THAT is impressive, to me anyway.

She's in Illinois for reference.

I had the same exact issue. I was getting frustrated as all hell. I just put in the one 1098-E with the most interest. The one I didn't put in only had $45 interest so not too worried.

This is great, wish I knew about this last year. Thank you for the head's up!

I recently moved and I cannot find any of my tax paperwork from last year. Is there a way to file this if you don't have your info from last year, or is there a way to get your 2011 tax info online?

You can request a "Copies of Prior Year Federal Tax Return or Transcript" from the IRS http://www.irs.gov/Individuals/Co...Transcript. If you request it by mail I believe it will take up to 3-4 weeks to arrive at your front door. Or if there's an IRS office around your area, you can just go there and request the tax's transcript (basically your tax return last year and such) from your IRS office. I did that a couple weeks ago because the financial aid office at my brother's school wanted to see his tax's transcript. Took like 20 mins to find the freaking office, 5 mins process lol. Hope that will help answering your question. :)

Weird. I paid back taxes to my state, but on the return it is giving me full credit for those taxes. The amount I paid is included in my refund.

That doesn't sound right. Why should my state refund taxes I owe them in a previous year?

I think I'll go see a live person about that one....

6 figures? If you mean 5 digits, that is, less than $100,000, than it certainly will. But if you AGI > $57K, you'll have to pay 'em to file.

You shouldn't. Use right links from wiki. Or go for TaxHawk.com - there both state and feds are free for guys like you.

Prepare taxes online like a pro

hey guys. I am an international grad student handling taxes here in the US for the first time and I have no idea what to do. Does this offer/service (in OP's post) expire - should I try to do it ASAP?

I have not seen it expire before,hth

I don't like to pay tax

Thanks +repped :)

You sir will never make over $57k with that attitude...

If you're truly as poor as you're leading us all to believe then the world is lining up to give you federal loans and all sorts of grants. If you're a woman you're in an even better place. If you're non Caucasian then you basically have the coffers open to you.

Apply to a state school, fill out a FAFSA, get some federal Obamabucks at a fairly low interest rate all things considered, do well in your classes, pick a undergrad degree that will allow you to have a profitable career (not a job, not an art degree, not a communications degree), and rise above your poor poor life.

...and you have your Romney history wrong. His parents paid for college, they did nothing to employ him after. Just facts, not partisan claims like you're own.

any tips on itemized deductions for w2???

this years refund is a lot less than 2011 for me.. while my wage stayed the same

Thanks. Much appreciated.

I cant get the state free...and I made less than 57k...by a lot. Any help?

Same problem! Filled out everything. Federal is free, but the State fee won't go away =(

I figured it out...I had already started a not-free tax return online, so it had me in a no free state loop. Youll have to input all your info again but this link here asks you to start the free file. The other link didnt ask me to... Hope that helps!!

Thank you so much, zira! :hug:

too bad MA is not one of the "free" filing states. Hopefully they are gonna have another free deal...

"Real" SDers pocket over $57K in deals that make money after rebates.

I wish it were min. wage

in for later, looks like there is some useful info in this thread.

You can file MA taxes for free (in most cases) by going to mass.gov/dor and following the link to webfile for income.

up for those still filing

Is there any way to file State Tax free for Ca? That link doesn't show Ca one of the free ones though.

From what I know, HR Block offers Free Edition of Federal State return since long time ago, when you go to their website you can always see "At Home Free Edition". What is the difference of this with the one in the HR Block website, I see nothing except the "BEEHIVE" logo appears on the top when you use this one:
Link from HR Block website (At Home Free Edition):
https://taxes.hrblock.com/hrblock...&FV=F&HT=F

And the link that OP post in this thread (Beehive HR Block Free):
https://taxes.hrblock.com/hrblock...&FV=F&HT=F


What is the difference, if anyone know.....

I just did mine..
Both Federal & State E-files were accepted..
100% Free.. Great Deal..

They appear to be the same.. But is the HRblock Website Free.?
The beehive Link is 100% Free..

Thank you so much, saved a decent amount of $!

I had to do Federal return in paper because I needed a ITIN for my daughter. Got the ITIN yesterday and had to do OH state return. Found a similar deal on SD from Tax Act for $8 any state. Best part is that they allow you to do only Federal or only State or both in whichever combination you want.

I did 2 Tax Returns with this.. Both were 100% Free..

My neighbor paid $259 to have his Taxes done.. :lol:

I am working on filling tax returns and I would say it is great.
