Hey everyone, if you didn’t know; when filing for your taxes (I used turbotax free efile) and if you didn’t receive 1 or both your stimulus checks (I didn’t get my second but did get the first) there’s an option where you can place the amount owed (which you can check on the IRS website for status of your stimulus to put the right amount or just to double check status before filing) and that amount will be added to your subtotal! There’s also a free file version turbotax for low income folks here. I just filed and was able to add the 2nd stim check I aint get successfully. (**Reminder that you’d still have to wait to have the filing accepted before you can receive your money!)

Signal boost!

Also, if you made under 72k (in 2020), it should be free to file your taxes, but a lot of the tax companies make it very hard to find the right link to the free version, and also will try every trick in the book to make you pay anyway.

If you make over 72k, they have free fillable forms you can use, or you can see if it makes sense to use a low cost prep service like freetaxusa.com (free federal taxes,~$15 for state returns I used them last year and it was fine?) or creditkarma.com (never used it but it’s supposed to be free).

If you would like some hand-holding (taxes are annoying, confusing, and scary), there are many organizations that offer free tax prep assistance. Check out this IRS page, or search for FREE TAX PREP YOUR LOCATION online.

“If you made under 72k it should be free to file your taxes” what, genuinely, the fuck. In my country the IRS has a website and it knows how much I’ve earned and it calculates it for me. Free. With no work on my part. Regardless of how much I’ve earned. What the fuck, America.

Also if you’re like me and turbo tax, HR block and tax act all tried to screw you over 74$ when you don’t make shit then try TAXSLAYER. Let me file completely free with no bullshit while the others all wanted to charge me 100$ plus to file. Fuck those companies don’t give them a dime.
