• LPT: Use IRS.gov to file your taxes for free if you make less than $73,000

  I was a loyal customer of taxact.com from about 2002 to sometime around 10 years ago when they just jacked up the prices from $12 or $13 to about $40 or more (I think they got bought over by some other company). I looked around and found FreetaxUSA and stuck with them since. Source: about 1 year ago

• How hard is it to do small business taxes?

  I wouldn't trust HR block for anything besides W2 returns. Anything that requires more, they usually won't have experience in. I usually don't suggest businesses to DIY. But if you're taxes are relatively small and simple I would use taxact.com. www.freetaxusa.com is an option also, but I don't know how good their business side of it is. I usually suggest that for w2 returns instead of going to HR block. Source: over 1 year ago

• Tax Prep Software Prior Years

  DIY I would use taxact.com. but this is preparing a return for someone else. so shouldn't be preparing this. partner with a tax pro and outsource the returns. get a cut of the revenue. I think even with 50% of the fee both parties will be happy. Source: over 1 year ago

• Homeschooling is exponentially better than normal schooling (if you know what you’re doing)

  The following January or February, you'll get a form in the mail called a W-2 detailing how much money you made from that employer during the previous year and how much was automatically withheld for taxes. (If you worked for two employers during the year, you'll receive two separate W-2s in the mail). When you've collected all your W-2 forms, go to taxact.com or turbotax.com (or something similar)*, and pick... Source: over 1 year ago

• Can I File Business Income for State Return on TaxSlayer?

  I have googled this and read stuff on taxslayer.com and can't find a direct answer to this. I know I can file business income on taxslayer for IRS, but I still don't know if I can do it for state. Anybody know? BTW, I have a W2 and also side business so have both a regular employer income and also my own freelance income to report. Source: 5 months ago

• I'm a developer that's been tasked with automating the process of filing 2000 tax returns. How legal is this?

  Register an account at taxslayer.com and complete the filing process for 2021 tax returns, (numbers and info used to complete this return will be based on profile information and a generator providing numbers within a set range and storing them for further use). Source: almost 2 years ago

• Should I considering tracking how many miles I drive in door dash?

  Just go to free tax software like taxslayer.com. They'll walk you through everything by asking simple questions. Source: about 2 years ago

• Can someone help me to understand question "John can be claimed as a dependent on someone else's return" Does it mean "John can be claimed" or "John IS claimed"? Checking or unchecking this box has big impact on John's tax liability.

  Here's how it's phrased on taxslayer.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Does it make sense to list my 19-year-old child as dependent? It seems the only benefits is Child Tax Credit but with our income the CTC is only $500. And because she is listed as dependent, she does not qualify for EITC and must pay $1000 federal taxes for her own income. Otherwis it's $0.

  I am not sure if EITC and EIC is the same thing, but minimum age for EIC is 19. When we do the tax return through taxslayer.com, it determines $848 federal tax on $7,276 AGI, with EIC paying $853, so there is basically no tax liability. Source: about 2 years ago
