I have AGI less than $20,000 so Im using FreeTax. But it doesn't have any button to upload my turbotax 2022. It says taxes imported. But I didnt import anything. I had an account so I must have started something last year but abandoned it. I filed with Turbo tax. So maybe I had a headache with this last year like Im starting out with a headache this year. The imported info is wrong. I need turbotax to be imported so ALL of my info is right. Anybody know how to upload my turbo tax return from last year? Maybe being free instead of full service that it wont let me. If not Im buying Turbotax because I cant afford a screwup with wrong data. Thank you. I looked and there is no option to even start over fresh. It just says continue on with 2023. Unless it lets me upload last years taxes, this will not have last years numbers. And I will mess it up trying to plop all that in manually within 24 hours. I got carry overs for deductions and Turbo tax has kept it strait for a decade.

It only gives you one chance to upload your last years forms. So if you didn't select it when you made an account, you don't have another chance. If you didn't choose to upload it the first time you made an account you don't have another chance (since it sounds like you started one last year?). They let you have multiple accounts with the same email, so I would make a new account and make sure to select the 'upload from another software' option. I found a video of theirs about what the option to upload looks like, hopefully this helps

The reason we do not let you upload it after you go past a certain point is because you can then start entering personal tax information. Uploading your prior year tax returns at that point could overwrite and delete the work and such you have done up to that point.

Well you have to look at it this way. I was at the beginning and never saw a way to load my prior years taxes. That is alot of extra work and worry. I had carry overs. I could only assume that something was not right from the start. And there was no obvious way to start over. I could not even delete my account. That is a terrible way to be. Last year I abandoned this program. I don't remember why, but I certainly must have run into a problem that I could not figure out. So if you want more business, you can't be corralling filers into a dead end. Taxes ****. And wasting time on taxes sucks even worse. So I did what the forum said this time. I did not have a forum login so I did not find the forum last year. I re-registered with a new user name with the same email address to start over again. There was nothing intuitive about it. Then I was able to make a filing that started with the prior years upload. And the rest lead to a return that was similar to last years. I almost quit again this year. There was not much time to wait for a forum response. And I was not interested in hand typing everything to end up with a ton of mistakes. Loading prior year gets me the framework of how my taxes work. Because I don't remember how to do it year after year.

Once you have uploaded a prior year return into your account, and then filed a new return with FTU, there is no need to upload last year's return again. The information will roll forward from your prior year return as long as you use the same account username and login.

The article says that the MilTax option is available to veterans. It is NOT available to veterans or retirees except for a small handful who have been separated from service for less than a year. You might want to fix this in your article.

They are sneaky about it. I've used it since 2017 with no issues, both free and paid. You MUST read the options at the end and be sure to choose NO or NOT NOW when they try to bait and switch you into upgrades - on every screen. They put them under the yes buttons so your eyes automatically go to the big bright yes button on top. Those aren't the free ones. Like I said, sneaky but we must also read the fine print on what we are engaging with.

it's great to see these guys called out - yet again - for deceptive marketing practices. I was taken in like many others, not to mention that if you give the slightest indication of non-employment income, they desperately try to charge you even more for filing as a small business!

In addition to the "free" qualifications, I learned -- confirmed a second sequential year -- that if you have no declarable income, they won't electronically file for you. Since I want a "paper trail", and need tax return copies for applications for Rx help, etc, I need to file. It was very frustrating to go through all the work, only to be told at the end that they would not process the filing.

If you want to help us. People are the lifeline to keeping the top in INTUIT. when you know how much money you have, and they know your spending habits helping you down the road to spend what you think is fair. everyone in one of the parts is involved in this. TURBO, CHIMP, MINT, KARMA, and the start Quicken BOOKs the AI. I bet if you or I knew this information it would be used to help. If you and I had board members to pay it might be different.

It is insane that the IRS does not have an on line tax filing program that everyone can use for free. Instead, they continue to allow these bandits like Turbotax and H&R Block continue to charge for what should be a free service.

In addition to "false" options of free tax preparation, Intuit has also restricted the Turbo-Tax programs so that household members can no longer share the program. That, plus a higher price and more filing difficulty and excessive numbers of programs - Intuit is no longer a value. My suggestion: try H&R Block. It's regrettable the 'higher-up's" at Intuit have ruined a good application because of their greed!

Hi I think TurboTax should have some type of compensation because I always buy the TurboTax disk and I have them in line for all previous years. They should come with something in terms of what we can do with the old one turbo tax disc

I felt the same way until this year as Felipe. When I went to load my 2023 Turbo Tax disc it informed me it would not run because it was for 64 bit processors only, forcing me to buy a new computer. I tried the online download as well, same issue.
I have a history on my old PC going back to 2009. None of that is compatible with the new processor, my history will be gone.
They didn't care, no system developed to move the history. Looks to me that they are trying to price us like their Pro-series product. I think 2024 filing will be with a different application.

I have used turbotax for years. BUT NO MORE. i am tired of ghese tech companies providing computer programs and increasing prices every year while spending millions on TV advertising and sponsoring the NFL billionaires! This year and from here on, using TaxAct at 60% less expense. And the c/s with TaxAct is umbelievable!

I just started filing mie out. Nothing changed from last year except I put money from Savings into a CD. I know, I have to include that as income, but I am still way below the limit. Turbotax says I have to pay to file! And it's really hard to find out what cut me off? Interest Income from simple banks accounts, that at never happened before when I used them. Is there a free service I can use? I already spent way too much time looking and I already completed more than 50% of my return before TurboTax said I had to pay. Argh! Hate these companies. Government should contract this out to ONE firm or do it internally, but then Republicans wouldn't fund it.

Taxslayer also erases all information if you want to downgrade. I entered a form for student loan interest and even though did not qualify they upgraded from free to paid without notifying me. So you pay $70 to find out you do not qualify. Only other forms were 2 W-2s which qualified for free. At least could erase and start over without calling them. Reading the qualifications TaxSlayer is the only one out of TaxAct, H&R, and Turbo that does not include EITC in the free program.

My income are ss pension and company pension. Turbotax charge me 89$ for federal return, then it told me file state tax return (I remembered I did it together when I filed federal tax return) then it charged 59$ state tax return. Is that happened to other people?

Just went thru this. They have a bait and switch "free" link. I went thru their entire flow doing my in-laws taxes only to find out they wanted us to pay about $80 for a couple on SS earning less than $30k/year.

I used them for the last time this year, for this, and because after an entire day of finishing my own taxes with them, I realized at checkout they funneled me to their "Live" version. Guess what? There's no way of downgrading, their coupon wasn't even applied, so it was either pay $273, or start 100% from scratch. This should also be worth the FTC looking into.
