Taxes. Ugh.
Apr. 14th, 2015 09:03 pmUsed the Turbo Tax Freedom Edition, since I qualified. My federal return does give me a refund- all of $4!! WOO HOO, try not to spend it all in one place, amirite?
They also extended a free version to do my state return, so I went ahead and did it. Much bigger refund, to the point of me side-eyeing it. Will not spend until I see what happens. But then, they also filed my school district tax return (which the state collects)- and for that, they did not have an option to help me. Nor did they let me file only the regular state. So, I am a bit at a loss- they submitted a return that indicated I did not pay school district tax yet, because I paid estimated tax directly to the state from my checking account. Seems like a gap in their forms, there.
So I am going to go to the state website and file a duplicate of my school district form, because I paid more than required. And I did look around the Turbo Tax website for the free edition, but there was no feedback option. So whatever. I'll just do my state forms myself next year.
