Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Here is my update on this disaster of a situation. I filled out everything with H&R Block several days ago. However, there program did not allow me to use 2019 income for the filing (which was a $2000 difference for me!) for the credit and after three hours on the phone with them, I gave up and went to TaxSlayer last night.
After putting in all the information, TaxSlayer was showing an $1800 higher refund than TurboTax, so I knew I did something wrong. After much wrangling with their online chat and phone system, which both leave much to be desired, I figured out that in the box that allows you to make an adjustment to your self-employed income, you need to enter the difference between your 2019 and 2020 self-employed income, not your 2019 income because your 2020 income is already being accounted for by the system. Once I made that change, my TaxSlayer refund showed $120 less than with Turbo Tax (no idea why!), but I gave up and submitted them and with the difference in cost, it turned out to be a $53 difference. You can use Promo Code SLAYIT35 to save yourself $16. My total for both federal and state was $64. TaxSlayer does not ask as many questions or provide as much information as TurboTax, but it does let you e-file Form 7202 and it is much cheaper!
