Do I have to file both Federal and State with FreeTaxUSA, or can I just do my state taxes here? - Thanks

    While you can file just your state return with us, state tax agencies don't let us e-file the state return without an accepted federal return on the same account. Because of that, if you file only your state return with us, you will have to print it off and mail it in.

    To do that, you'll prepare your federal and state returns like normal, but when you get to the 'Filing Method' page of the 'Filing' tab, you'll select the mailing option for both returns. Then you can continue through the rest of the software and print and mail in your state return. The federal return needs to be prepared as well because the information on the federal return is used to calculate the state return as well.

    How do I file for Ga state Tax

    Hi Montanaklemm,

    To file a Georgia state tax return, you will want to log into your FreeTaxUSA account by going to www.freetaxusa.com

    Once you are logged in, you'll be asked for personal information, income, deductions/credits, etc. Continue through all of those screens. You will need to enter your information for each of those sections for your state return to be calculated correctly.

    You will eventually reach the "State" tab in your account. From there, indicate that you need to file a Georgia tax return. You can then enter information for that. Continue through the "Final Steps" tab to finalize and submit your Georgia and/or federal return.

    If you plan to file only your Georgia state tax return, choose to MAIL both your federal and GA tax returns on the "Filing Method" screens. Then, after the returns are finalized, you can ignore the federal mailing instructions and choose to only mail your GA return.
