GB"Free" isn't really free! Look before you leap! If you need support, no matter how simple, you have three choices: free email which never gets answered, chat for $7.50 or Pro for $49.99 (presumably someone who can spell gouge! Once your return is filed you NO LONGER have access to the forms, only a PDF with a bold PREVIEW COPY DO NOT FILE splashed across each page. ANY correction requires their support - you're prohibited from making any changes once the return is submitted. Misspelled your middle name, typed a wrong digit, wrong PIN? Pay up! And, if you have to resubmit you have to pay for that as well. The biggest issue I have is that once your return is filed the return is NO LONGER AVAILABLE for review, copy or print. Why? The files are NOT SAVED ON YOUR COMPUTER! In other words, you no longer have a record of your return. They have all those forms and you can't have access - no matter that they have all your personal and financial information on them. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! Presumably, all that information is on THEIR STORAGE - no matter that it's encrypted. At least I hope it is because they would be a prime target for cyber thieves. H&R Block, TurboTax, et al save clear copies of all forms on YOUR computer and you have free access and can even make changes at will. Need to amend a return - no problem. Sure you pay for the re-filing online BUT you could also just mail the return in at NO COST except the stamps.

GBWorrying about security issues! I have no problems with FreeTaxUSA EXCEPT I can't find a way to talk to someone about a message I keep getting. "Already Signed In We noticed you were already logged in to this account elsewhere, so we safely signed you out. Please sign back in to your account now." I am not already logged in elsewhere!! Who else is logged into my account when I am logged in? I'm really concerned about security issues and can't find a way to talk to someone unless I pay for Pro Support. HELP!

GBI used the site for years but be… I used the site for years but be careful if you relocate, the site becomes more complicated to use. They will save your previous state and you must delete it BEFORE filing or you will be charged for the filing of BOTH states (your new and old one) and no you can't delete it through an amendment. Who knows could cost a huge refund from your new state, i think its wrong that they refused to refund me, I think this is my last year using the site.

GBworst software worst software. Worst customer support, they don't how to frame good succinct replies. Every year there is some or the other issues with software. It does not have required alerts and due to which I had to amend my returns once again. It is a good business for them as it keeps earning them filing fees. go to hell .. I don't care if you don't publish and I AM NOT GOING TO GIVE YOU MY PERSONAL INFORMATION

GBUsed this preparer for the 1st time Used this preparer for the 1st time, and now I still have not received my refund and cant get answers from anyone as to what the delay is. If I had used Turbotax like I normally do then I would not be in this situation. State asked for proof of different things in which I sent, and Federal just tells me its delayed with no reasoning sent in the mail. I filed on Jan 29th and it's now the middle of April, I should have had my return awhile ago and this tax service doesnt help with it whatsoever.
