spent three days researching/redoing my taxes out of sheer spite so i didn’t have to pay a scam tax prep company (turbotax) (also h&r block) $100 to file. and i did it but now i am so tired and full of useless ire

if anyone in the us is trying to file for free on hr block or turbotax but getting hit with “sorry, you have to upgrade to deluxe because of [extra form]” i highly recommend going to freetaxusa instead 🫡 i only paid $15 (to file state) vs. nearly $100, and the cost was clear up front
there are also actual irs freefile/direct file options for those who qualify! don’t give tax companies a dime more than you have to! (⬅️ this user learned about propublica’s investigation into turbotax a few years ago and has been so mad ever since)
speaking of giving things a dime. i almost always get a refund so i’m eager to file taxes early because Give Me That Back. but if you in fact owe money, let it stay in your own account as long as you can i think. there would be a lot more things i’d be pondering rn if i owed at this point
