Unemployed Penalized by No Free File

I have happily been a TurboTax user for over 20 years, with the last 8 years doing eFile.  Because I found myself unemployed, like millions of other Americans during a global pandemic, I was especially grateful for the Free File…until I found out that, adding insult to injury of a job loss, I cannot use Free File because, like millions of other Americans, I have an Unemployment 1099G. 

Way to disenfranchise a whole segment of the population who were already hurting terribly, and asking they pay for the ‘privilege’ to file that 1099G…that was once free along with the W-2.

 

I will be voicing my concerns with the WA Attorney General’s Office and US Senator Patty Murray.

 

NEVER again.
