Free E-File State and Federal

[BDwinsAlt]

A lot of people use TurboTax to file their taxes. There is a free edition that a lot of people use, but there is a freedom edition that's better. If you are military and/or low income, you qualify for Free state e-filing and federal e-filing. Most places charge you for state e-filing. I just thought this might help some of you. It's a lot faster if you e-file. My tax return is looking good so far. I have 6 W2 forms to enter, but from the Army alone I get back about $800.

 

I still have 5 other W2s to enter. I wish I had kids right now. They said I could get $3650 if i have dependants.

 

Anyway, just thought you might want to file your state free. In alabama I got back $30 from state. This year I'm getting back $149 so far. When I e-filed for $25 for state, it equalled out to a $5 return. That was a joke. So maybe this will help some of you. It´s always nice to save money, especially when you qualify for low income

Well the IRS only cares where you lived most of the year. It asked me where I lived the last 6 months of the year last year. I moved out in September, so my parents could have claimed me last year. This year they can't because I've lived where I am now for the whole year. So if your mom puts you down as a dependent, tell her to give you part of the money (because she will get a lot off you), or call the IRS and say she lied on taxes (if you don't like her)

 

Your free and on your own now.

 

 

EDIT: As far as not every state offering it, the straight states do. If you live in a gay state it probably doesn't offer free state e-file. The gays took the money that was going to go to free state e-file for low income, and used it for something homosexual.
