Update: IRS successfully launches their own free Direct File - now ALL of my fellow 'murcans are eligible for 2025

Mine was too complicated to file for free because I have retirement investments? Seems like a silly reason to force someone to use a paid service.

Sounds like having any 1099 is 'too complicated'. So anyone with any sort of savings account that managed to get $10 of interest over a year... So if you have like a thousand dollars in a boring old savings account you are 'too complicated'.

Not really. If you are filling out $10 1099s you’re probably taking a standard deduction so it never matters.

Wow, old comment.
1099 is income, not a deduction.

That’s a good point. I’ve just never had it move the needle nor had enough deductions to itemize.
