 | [Rant] Taxes, How Do You Wan't To Be Rapped ? You know, over the years I have learned one thing, how the government and every software company, and agency want's a piece of your earned money. Or shall I use the term, butt rape.
It's around 40-100 depending on which Turbo Tax version you want. 30-40.00 for your state, 5.00 processing fee, and 25.00 to e-file.
By the time you get your taxes back, your lucky to have bought your something to plug your butt from being butt rapped so much. -- Like My DSL!!! |

| reply to CBLMorphis If you need the service that TT provides, or you just want the convenience, then pay up and quit complaining. On the other hand, if yours is just a simple return then you haven't explored the free-file options that are available. I've been using 1040NOW for three years and it has worked well. They do charge a fee for some state returns but I don't care about that. |

| reply to CBLMorphis You can just do your taxes by hand. It's not hard.
I paid $40 for Turbo-Tax, which includes e-filing the Federal return and calculation of the New Jersey return.
NJ has its own web-based tax filing system which is 100% FREE. So I just take the numbers from Turbo-Tax and plug them into NJ's web site.
So I paid $40 for the software, and NOTHING to e-file both the Federal and NJ returns.
I don't feel "rapped", nor do I "wan't" to be. |

| reply to CBLMorphis Money makes the world go around. Get used to it and cope. And, spend some time working on your grammar and spelling before you complain about companies that have spent a lot of money paying the people who create, maintain, and support their software. -- "Dance like the photo isn't being tagged; love like you've never been unfriended; and tweet like nobody is following." |

 CylonRedPremium,MVM join:2000-07-06 Bloom County | reply to CBLMorphis I spend less than $75 total using Turbo Tax - no e-file fee or processing fee and NOT the basic TT version. 2011 was $71 but the years before that it was less than $60 which is tax deductible. -- Brian

 | reply to jjoshua Yeah, for a second there, I thought OP was posting a rap song about taxes. 
Don't know why OP is bitching and moaning about tax software. For what it charges, I thought it's worth it. If not, do it by hand and see how much extra time it takes. Or take the whole thing to an accountant, and see how much the accountant charges. |

| said by chamberc:Taxes suck... you pay quarterly, you withhold as single at the higher rate, then they steal again in April... it's absurd. You're doing something wrong if you have to pay still more taxes in April. Complaining about costs for doing your returns online or having someone do them for you simply is not legitimate. Decades ago you did your taxes by hand. There was no online and H&R Block or a CPA were pretty much your only alternatives. No thanks. It's worth every penny to do them the way we can today. -- "Dance like the photo isn't being tagged; love like you've never been unfriended; and tweet like nobody is following." |

 redxiiPremium,Mod join:2001-02-26 Sherwood, MI | reply to CBLMorphis I used the Turbo Tax federal free edition online and a different site (1040Now) to e-file state for free. -- Moe, I need your advice

 | reply to CBLMorphis LOL yes I just saw that, Rapped, LOL, sorry about that. Need Snoop Dogg here I guess, 
I don't mind paying for stuff don't get me wrong, it's how they go about it. Paying the company that makes the software deserves the money yes. It's the state and the e-file that are ripping us off. Not the federal but the state. I noticed this when I submitted my payment information.
Federal e-file is free, but paying for the state + e-file, I question that.
What, the state don't make enough damn money off of us? -- Like My DSL!!! |

Example: Free File companies have their own eligibility criteria, but none offer Free File to taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross Income of more than $57,000. |

 | reply to CBLMorphis I use TaxAct and have for years, no income max and no charge for filing Federal.
My State, and City have free E-filing so no charges there either.
With TaxAct, State filing is $15. |
