    Using this ended being a massive pain in the ass for me. I could file the federal taxes online, but after I submitted it and attempted to file my state taxes online it said I couldn’t since I lived in NYC and made more than 75k/yr and I’d have to mail them in since it’s impossible to file only your state taxes online due to the IRS’ requirements.

    I haven’t used my printer in years so it was a hassle just to print out 5 pages and mail them half way across the country. It also delayed getting my refund by about a month.

      Growing pains. States that work with the IRS will be able to (relatively) easily setup a way to receive the information from the IRS in a way that makes the states job easier too. This is a win for everyone except the tax preparing industry.

        Yeah, I just assumed it would work smoothly by now. I’ve been using TurboTax for the past 7 years and have had no issues, I attempted to save money by doing it this way, but it caused way more headaches for me.
