  I didn't get a CSV upload prompt when I answered the question "yes" - if you don't have too many you can enter them manually. If you have more, you might have to use OLT.com ($9.95) or freetaxusa.com ($15) or another online option, but those are the two cheapest I know about. Source: about 2 years ago

  So I am doing my taxes on freetaxusa.com and it said " Many people saw their 2021 income decline due to COVID-19.

• KY -> IL move as a remote worker. Unsure how to submit state taxes

  Moved in September '21 and job ended in December '21. Employer wasn't notified of new address unfortunately so my W4 was still reporting me as a KY employee and paying KY taxes. I've received about 6 paychecks during that time frame since the move and factored that in for IL's tax share but my W2's only state income in KY. I believe KY and IL has tax reciprocal agreements but I'm not sure how to cleanly put this... Source: about 2 years ago

• Tax Thursday Thread for the week of March 24, 2022

  I had inadvertently made an individual HSA contribution that was in excess of the contribution limit by $1700 (after taking into account employer contributions) in 2021. In the same year, I had the HSA provider pull out the excess contribution plus the earnings on it ($1708). I received a 1099-SA form and put that into my tax software (I'm using freetaxusa.com) and selected that it was due to an over contribution. Source: about 2 years ago

• [ADVICE] Make sure you’re taking advantage of a tax deduction for paying interest on your house. The deductible will pay out the most the first full year of ownership

  I used freetaxusa.com this year to file and it made it extremely easy to itemize. In same cases, if you didn't want to do the math, it would calculate your deduction for you based just on the info you provided (like your medical expenses being 6-ish percent more than your gross income in order to qualify).

  So what forms and procedures should I prepare to do? I'm assuming I file taxes normally federally and for PA. Perhaps I also file a VA state tax form as well? I generally use freetaxusa.com for filing. Source: about 2 years ago

• Small business expense question

  Check out freetaxusa.com . They only charge for the state return. Even then, you can efile the federal return, then hand file the state return since it just takes a few lines from the federal (some states don't allow mailed in returns though). There is great value added by using a tax program, over trying to paper file the forms. Are you filing their personal taxes? Or just preparing the schedule C for them, and...

• [Help] Backdoor IRA tax question

  If I enter these details into freetaxusa.com - it determines that I have to pay taxes on the conversion. I think this is a mistake. I called Vanguard regarding line 7 being "2 - Early distribution, exception applies". They told me this is correct and that I have to file form 8606. However I am not sure how to do that.
