Hi, I am struggling a lot to file this year as this is our first year of being married and trying to file our taxes jointly. I earned no income while being a part-year resident of NJ, before moving to VA and earned all of my income there for the remainder of the year. My spouse was a full-year resident of IL as a student…
There is a difference between what FreeTaxUSA is showing for my state tax owed (Idaho) and what my spreadsheet says. FreeTaxUSA says I owe more for the state by $200+. I cannot find a way to see or print the forms like I can the Federal forms before I actually file. If I choose to file by printing both forms and only print…
I do not fall under the California requirements for the children with unearned income reporting which are "a child under age 19 or a full-time student under age 24", yet I am being asked to provide both SSN and taxable income information for my parent(s) in the state filing flow. I have not checked anywhere that I was a…
Joined the military recently. My home of record (the state I lived in when I enlisted) is Oregon. I went to school in Mississippi for three months and I'm currently stationed in Germany. When filing for state do I put my home of record? Am I supposed to select Full-year, Part-time, or Non-resident? Thanks in advance.
In 2025 I lived in Montana for 4 months and then California for the rest of the year. I've gone through both tax returns on Free Tax USA since I had a job in each state. In total, I made around $40k for the whole year, with 10k from my job in Montana and 30k from my job in California. For both returns, I said I was a part…

While trying to finish up my return it flagged the Virginia return for discrepancies in the "Enter the amount of tax due or assessed in Virginia" and "Enter the amount of tax actually paid to Virginia" boxes. For both I put the…
Which year do I put down for my NYS inflation refund check? The 1099-G says tax year 2025 in box 1, but obviously that's not an option for my 2025 tax return. The payment was based on my 2023 tax filing status and income, would I say it's a refund from 2023 then?
All of my state return (CA) that was done through FreeTaxUSA, Other than the first page that instructs me on what to do with the printed papers and where to mail them, are covered in "Do not file" "Form Not Finalized" Regardless if i use the option to direct print, or download and print later. Did I fill out something…
Due to the way my W2 is filled out, and exemptions I am receiving, I am needing to mail in my state (ca) tax return. However, when hitting "download" or "Print now" a good portion of my forms are watermarked "Do not file, Form not Finalized" Am i too early in preparing my taxes and my states forms aren't fully…
This is the first year I will be filing pension income from working as a State Trooper. In addition I also started receiving pension income for my National Guard service. My understanding, due to tax changes in the past 4 years or so, is that my State Trooper pension is federally taxed but exempt from State tax. My…
