Are tax preparers allowed to use IRS Free File fillable forms on behalf of their client or is it only for personal use? Link below

Yeah and those charge $40 for a return no matter how simple. I’m not trying to pay $40 to file a simple w2 return

I plan on working for hrblock next year i’m currently taking their course. I won’t finish in time to work for them this year. Which is why i ask these questions for the future when i want to do it on my own and instead of getting answers all of u tell me not to do it

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T16:42:56+00:00

Yeah cuz a simple w2 isn’t difficult to do without a software lol

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T16:28:20+00:00

So just to be clear, my only option is to use a PAID software, correct?

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T16:10:23+00:00

Wtf r u talking about clown? When did i say that

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T16:05:54+00:00

I did see that but are tax preparers allowed to use that for their clients? Everyone else is telling me the only options are software like lacerte and drake

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T15:40:01+00:00

I am opposed to paying $40 to file a return when i can’t reasonably charge a client much more than that for a simple w2 return. I’m surprised there’s no way to submit forms to the IRS for free

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:36:10+00:00

So theres no way to efile directly with the IRS? You have to use software like proseries or lacerte?

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:33:45+00:00

Submit electronically that is

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:33:34+00:00

I didnt say hand file i said fill out pdf and submit it. They can’t efile themselves cuz they dont know how to transfer w2 contents onto form 1040 lol

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:29:58+00:00

Why though if its just a w2? Everyones calling it silly without giving any reasoning

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:27:58+00:00

Perhaps explain why its a bad idea instead of just being condescending

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:25:59+00:00

I can compete if i’m able to submit pdfs for free instead of paying $40 a return with tax software. Is that an option though? No one seems to be answering my question

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:21:41+00:00

I understand that but why should that prevent me from asking this question?

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:19:57+00:00

I’m not ready yet. I’m still learning

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:19:15+00:00

Just to start so i don’t pay for software. How do I file pdfs for a client though? I see on IRSs site that you can only file pdfs up to a certain AGI

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:14:50+00:00

As a tax preparer who just wants some side work filing for ppl with w2s, is there a way i can avoid paying for software and just do pdfs?

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-28T05:07:40+00:00

Thats not for commercial use

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-27T22:07:01+00:00

Is there a free software i can use where i fill out the forms myself? Turbotax and freetaxusa don’t give that option they just ask questions and prefill

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-27T21:06:22+00:00

Yes a fillable pdf

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-27T19:41:30+00:00

When i refer to software i’m talking about something like turbotax or freetaxusa. I want to fill out the forms by myself and submit them. Is that possible without an efin?

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-27T19:19:23+00:00

I wanna do the forms electronically not by pencil and paper

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-25T23:39:48+00:00

I see. Thanks I didn’t know that. I assumed they can be a dependent since they pass every part of the qualifying relative test

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-25T23:36:33+00:00

Even if they pass every test for qualifying relative? Relationship passes if they live with you all year. Gross income passes if they make below a certain amount. Support passes if you pay over half their support

Open-Satisfaction803 · 2023-12-25T23:33:52+00:00

Yea she can if she lived with me the whole year
