I've read in other posts that the option to deduct gambling losses only shows in "Other Itemized Deductions" if you have already input gambling winnings in the W-2G section. My gambling winnings are from sweepstakes casinos and thus came from 1099-MISCs or no W-2G at all. I was able to put my winnings in "Other Income >…
With my taxes, I added my daughter as a dependent(24 yrs.) so I could get Head of Household status. I didn't actually get the dependent deduction because of her age. When SHE files her taxes with FreeTaxUSA, does she say that she can be claimed on someone else's taxes? Thank you!
Hello - I believe I have found a possible issue/error with FreeTaxUSA 2024. I made a large amount of charitable contributions in 2024 in the form of donated stock - or Capital Gain property.

I'm finishing up my 2025 taxes and I am making a 529 contribution that is deductible in South Carolina. But unlike last year, I'm not seeing any place in FreeTaxUSA to enter my contribution. The deductions/credits section never asks about it. Where should I enter this?
She has lived with me since 9/2024 and has been unable to work since then. she receives a small monthly SNAP allowance.
For context: I am an independant contractor hairstylist and I got a 1099-k form in the mail from my point of sale system, but was told to file all the income under Schedule C as Business income. All my card transactions, including tips, are all added together as a gross amount on my 1099-k form. I keep record of all my…
