I was told it would likely be free. Your ads really push that while quietly wiggling that 37~% around. I am poor. I do not make much money, so I assumed I'd be part of that 37% since you don't need to do much comparatively. So I decided to run it, fully expecting to have to pay state fees. That is fine. What is not fine is being charged for both it AND federal when I specifically kept saying "No, I don't want the more expensive services" Which it asked for a good 5 or so times throughout the return. I was then offered to get it back 5 days sooner so naturally, I agreed. I was then told my identity could not be verified. So I had to skip on that as I could not find a way to properly verify it a second time. In all, it cost me a little over 100 dollars of my return to file my taxes because of COURSE there's also an e-filing fee. 2 stars because it's quick. That is all.
Always see the ads saying free to file, after inputting all my info and reviewing to file I am then informed that it will be an additional $78 to file because I have a 1095-A. I’m below poverty level and had the 1095-A because I needed health insurance coverage or I will be taxed more at the end of the year. Filing a 1095-A should be free if the income level is below poverty level.
