Been using Turbotx for more than a dozen years and thinking about using one of the other free or almost free services and see how they compete. Heard some good things about the other ones.
Not worth the headache. Remember, Turbotax transfers your stock and capital gains losses from year to year. I made that mistake one year and it completely lost $25k of stock losses carried over from previous years. Good thing I caught it and corrected it the following year. But the IRS could have easily noted the discontinuity and flagged my return for an audit.
Crap.... again? I just did my taxes a few months ago.
Yup. Ever since I started doing my own taxes 3 years ago, the approaching new year leaves me with a knot in my stomach knowing I'll have to spend 30 hours or more dealing with this misery. And my taxes aren't even that complicated. It is a massive weight off my shoulders in March when I'm finally done with this crap.
That always seemed really dumb to me, so a state would rather charge money for something that makes their life easier

They probably did catch it but didn't flag it because you essentially gave them a free loan

You need to have an online account and be logged in when you install and enter your license key. This links your account to your software. It also provides a download link if you need to install it again, but you will need to be logged into your account.
I read the license info on the TurboTax site, and it says your license provides 5 free federal e-files. You have to pay for state e-files. If also mentions you have unlimited file by printing and mailing. It doesn't mention what happens if you need a 6th e-file, if you could just pay a fee or not, but you can mail it.
I've always done that with my state filing. E-file federal for free, and print and mail the state.
This is probably to try to stop pirating. It's been pretty easy in the past couple years to torrent the software and change the key detection

Won't this also stop people from sharing with other people (neighbors, co-workers etc) since all 5 tax returns will be available to see when everyone has to log into the one intuit account?
The last few years Amazon has had a one day special for this on 12/28 or 12/29. I always buy on that day. Last year was $27.49 for Deluxe plus state. No gift card. Most Slow shipping credits expire on 12/15.
