mikeman Posted February 15, 2022 Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 I usually file with turbo tax, until this year it's been free because of my status with my mutual fund co/brokerage. This year they ended the free filing and only give a discount - a crappy $20 off. Because of my stock trading , etc i have to use their premier version and because I had w-2-g's from gambling I have to file Wisconsin taxes in addition to MN. Anyway Turbo tax wanted $140 to file - F'n thieves. So i searched around and ended up using Jackson Hewitt, they charge a flat fee of $25 for both fed and state, their interface seemed just fine too. A word to the wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted February 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2022 Both tax services ended up with the same results too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, tax act was just a smidge cheaper than turbo, tax slayer might have ended up being around $65, that was plan B till I found this jackson hewitt outfit. The scam is they all want an extra $25-39 for each state return, this year I have two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hewitt doesn't charge extra for the state, that's why they're so much cheaper. One thing they dont have is direct import of data from fund co's/brokerages. Mine wasn't too bad to type in manually, if you had hundreds of sales it would be a huge pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
