Assuming we're not going to get $20 deal this year or deal with gift card. Might hold out for another week or two, but starting not too feel optimistic

After playing the H&R/Newegg pricing games for the past 3-4 years and waiting for a better deal to come this year, I finally gave up and went to FreeTaxUSA. Most likely will never go back to H&R.

FTUsa cost me $15 total for federal and state - and unlike H*R, there was no additional state e-file fees (my situation includes W2, stock sale, retirement, HSA's, etc.). Interface is just as intuitive as H&R or TurboTax.

Not exactly true. I owe more than $1000 since I paid estimated tax payments all year long and I don't have a penalty. It's based on last year's taxes and how much it went up the next year.

Got tired of waiting.. bought one. Was hoping to get H&R Block Deluxe (no state), alas no deals. I don't want to do my taxes at the last minute.

Thanks OP; repped.

No FreeTax cannot import brokerage transactions. I have used Block and TurboTax and FreeTax and for me the FreeTax interface is by far the worst. Everything is manual and not intuitive and very little hand holding unless you pay extra for it. FreeTax even asked me for my credit card before I finished my taxes. That was a deal breaker for me. If Federal efile is free then why are they asking you for your credit card until you file your state?
There is no paying extra for more guidance with FreeTaxUSA (there is only one version of the software) and the guidance that is there is comparable to TurboTax and Block. It's true that it doesn't import from brokerages, but it's only a handful of numbers to enter if you aggregate all your long term and short term transactions (as shown on the consolidated 1099). The IRS gets the full 1099 anyway.

If only there were a standard interface to automatically import everything the IRS has rather than building out a bunch of brokerage links…..

Penalties don't start until after April 15th. In addition, you are ok if you already paid at least a certain percentage (I think 90%) of what you owed last year.

Edit this is the detailed IRS page: https://www.irs.gov/payments/unde...ls-penalty

And here's what they say to do to avoid the penalty:

Avoid a penalty
You may avoid the Underpayment of Estimated Tax by Individuals Penalty if:

Your filed tax return shows you owe less than $1,000 or
You paid at least 90% of the tax shown on the return for the taxable year or 100% of the tax shown on the return for the prior year, whichever amount is less. If your adjusted gross income (AGI) for 2023 was more than $150,000 ($75,000 if your filing status for 2024 is married filing separately), substitute 110% for 100%.

One operational question,

I have multiple copies of form 8938 (about 5) and need to ensure they are sent during efiling .how do I verify what pages being sent out? When I print Fed filing the multiple forms don't show , if I print using selected form then the copies show.

Anyone having faced similar?
I would check with support to be sure. This Reddit thread from last year suggests there is an issue with e-filing with more than 3 of these forms: https://www.reddit.com/r/hrblock/s/kXU3w7PPlD

Doesn't say which version of the software though (desktop vs online).

Gave in. Wondering if I can sell the VPN service
You did better than me. I bit on the $29.95 deal from Walmart last night but at least I was able to use a $10 promo code with it that I got from customer service because of a canceled order.

But I could have used the $10 off on something else, of course.

Wrong. FreeTax advertises different extra paid levels of support. Its right on their website. I have used both TT and Block. FreeTax guidance is in no way comparable. You can aggregate all your dividends not me. Just more work to do in FreeTax. FreeTax is not user friendly for complicated tax returns as you suggest.

Anyone try IRS Direct File? From them: "Direct File began as a pilot program last year and, after receiving overwhelmingly positive reviews from taxpayers, is now available in 25 states."

I love when people are super confidently wrong. Yes, they have different levels of paid support, but the software itself (including guidance) is the same no matter what.

It just so happens that I'm helping a friend with TurboTax Desktop Premier right now (I know, not HRB). I still think the guidance is no better.

And on top of that, the import function didn't pull in the cost basis information for RSUs (which are not reported to the IRS, but are on the supplemental form attached to the 1099), so every single one of those transactions had to be manually edited to add the date acquired, long term vs short term (even through the date of purchase and sale would tell you that), covered vs uncovered (it's uncovered, which is why this whole thing is happening), and the adjusted cost basis. There was no way to do this in a tabular format and a lot of the drop down menus are cut off.

And just to make things more fun, you can't paste passwords into TurboTax's import feature (or view them as you type), so if you have good long random secure passwords generated by a password manager, it's a nightmare.

This is where I feel that Intuit and Block have missed the boat on innovation. These same problems have existed for years, but they put no effort into their software other than to update the tax code. Their number one advantage is 1099 import - it should work flawlessly by now!

I don't qualify, but feedback on Reddit seems to be positive. Here is an article about the IRS take on the feedback they received: https://www.cpapracticeadvisor.co...on/104545/
Quote :
- A survey of more than 11,000 Direct File users found that 90% of respondents ranked their experience with Direct File as "excellent" or "above average." When asked what they particularly liked, respondents most commonly cited Direct File's ease of use, trustworthiness, and that it was free, according to the IRS.
- 86% of survey respondents said that their experience with Direct File increased their trust in the IRS, and 90% of survey respondents who used customer support responded that their experience was "excellent" or "above average."
I know "trust in the IRS" is going to raise some eyebrows here lol

Quote from hy_tek :
FreeTax does not have direct download of tax statements from brokerages. Just for the heck of it I did my taxes with FreeTax. I have a lot of brokerage transactions and entering them all by hand sucked and was confusing.
You did it wrong. All you need to do is enter one single consolidated long term and one short term transaction then you can attach your forms with the details. This is the simple workaround for NOT importing records from a brokerage, possibly makes the tax filing cleaner and easier too. H&R block has been a pain in the past forcing me to validate every transaction it imported. I'd rather just enter the summary number and be done with it.
See: https://community.freetaxusa.com/...-brokerage
"As an alternative, our software does allow you to consolidate your stock trades into one long term transaction and one short term transction by choosing Summary in the Stocks or Investments sold section. You would then either upload your consolidated statement for these transactions or mail your consolidated statement with Form 8453 to the IRS."
