FYI, Credit Karma is providing free online tax filing regardless of your income.
In general, I think online tools become worth their cost when you are claiming mutliple deductions and have income from various sources across more than one state. Otherwise, the 1040EZ is where you should start.
- aeonsky 8y agoI don’t believe the 1040EZ exists anymore.
- haneefmubarak 8y agoCorrect. The 1040 has been redesigned to be as easy to fill out as the prior 1040EZ, IMHO.
- idunno246 8y agojust remember that credit karma makes all it's money from selling you credit cards... so by using them to fill out your taxes you give them all the info on your income info to further "personalize" these ads
- Cyph0n 8y agoAre you certain that Intuit and others aren’t doing the same thing? That is, using your data to gain insights?
- gst 8y agoAfter logging in to TurboTax (for the first time in a tax year) it asks you if it can share your data with its parent company (Intuit). Declining works and doesn't have any impact on TurboTax. However, based on how the UI for that looks like it might not be obvious for some people that data-sharing is optional.
- gst 8y agoMore personalized ads seem to be a win-win situation. If I'm already seeing credit card ads I'd like to at least see ones that are relevant for me.
- smkellat 8y agoThere is only one form this year. There is no longer a 1040A or 1040EZ.
