@kevdawg40- so... cool.
But kind of my point, there is no acceptable alternative right now for a lot of us. That's what gets under my skin a little bit. "TurboTax this, TurboTax that." Well bottom-line is the form isn't available because the IRS dragged their feet and didn't release it until 2 weeks ago.
The way I understand it is that the form gets release by the IRS, then Inuit (or whomever,) integrates the form into their platform. THEN they have to go back to the IRS to get approval to use it in an e-file application. That's not going to happen i a day or two or even a week.
As far as FreetaxUSA I believe they are an official provider FOR the IRS mandate to provide free tax filing. As such they will be very limited in how complex of a return you can file with them. And THAT is why their website KINDA works with IRS right now, they are heavily affiliated with the IRS.
This is the way it is to the best of my knowledge.
Sorry to hear about the job woes, I am a retired PA. As far as the trolls, there were some here, but think they have been thinned out a bit.
