all I had was a w-2 and I made like close to 90. My state doesnt require one either because no income tax. But I had to do one for Illinois because my wife won 3 grand off a slot hit

IIRC it's tax deductible and if you buy the digital edition it automatically deducts itself on your taxes.

This was the first year for me that turbotax denied me the free file. Had to use HR Block.

It won't let you. TurboTax is greedy now. Instead of charging you $40 to file both federal and state, they charge you $40 to file each. I used FreeTaxUSA and filed both for $13.

Turbotax is free so long as you'd basically file a 1040-ez. If you have anything special and need to mess with deductions, yeah, it costs ya.

It's no longer tax deductible after the tax law change

I thought for slot earnings you didn't have to show earnings unless it was 10k or over.

ProPublica has a good article on how TurboTax is legally mandated to have a free version for anyone making under 66k, but also they bury it deep so everyone who uses their services is using the paid version without realizing it till the end.

User error if you fell under the income cap and still used the paid version. Doing it wrong if you used the online version instead of buying the disc for dirt cheap at a warehouse club like Sam's or Costco while it was on sale (which ended this prior Sunday at both clubs).

I only had to pay $30 for Deluxe Federal (no state income tax here) which I'm splitting the cost with my parents since the desktop version allows multiple fillings from the same license (we both itemize).

Im surprised nobody here has mentioned CreditKarma yet. It's actually free for most people and is so easy to use. I used it last year without any issues. They do sell your info to credit card companies, but that doesn't really bother me.
