TaxSlayer Review 2023 | Pros + Cons and Walkthrough

[@Kag3dsol]

I'm shocked at how surprisingly easy it was. If you have a basic return, all you need is a few minutes and some patients. This was my first time ever doing taxes on my own. I usually pay someone like $200+ to do mine. Now if the IRS or state come after me, I'll be back here to complain 😂

[@DavidSuarez-l6t]

I am not happy with Taxslayer at this time, My 71 yr old father filed his federal tax with them and after saying his return was done free and then at the end, Tax Slayer showed a charge of close to $70 dollars more as a upgrade that is required because of his age, and there was no option to deny this upgrade, its mandatory or they dont file the return..

[@gypsyfirebird4610]

Will I be able to include the Interest income form from a savings account on the " Simply Free " Tier?

[@Thecollegeinvestor]

If your interest from your savings account is less than $1,500 you can qualify for free if you meet the other requirements too.

Can you import last year's return done on turbo tax or Taxact.?

[@Thecollegeinvestor]

If you have the PDF saved, you can import and upload the PDF. Going forward, always save a PDF copy of your tax return.

[@sodbuster518able]

Couldn't find a way to Import 2021 tax returns done on Turbo tax, not sure what we missed during setup. Can a return be started all over again?

Hello, Can you do form 8606 for IRA distributions?

[@Thecollegeinvestor]

What are you looking for with that specifically? Are you going for the mega-backdoor? You might find this helpful: thecollegeinvestor.com/17561/understanding-the-mega-backdoor-roth-ira/

You find the Schedule C, and input the income you earned. You can also leverage their support help if you can't find it.

If you add $39 for state return, it is more expensive than HR Block Premium, which is $55, and includes state

[@Thecollegeinvestor]

Is this comparing the online to the download HR block? Because the price we see today to HR Block Premium is $55 but state is $37 additional. However, HR Block download does typically include free states. However, the download does have an eFile fee that’s hidden in the fine print and that’s $19.95.
