Refund for audit defense

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Original review updated Mar 14, 2025

When I was finishing up to submit his taxes, it requested that the 19.99 be paid at that moment for the audit defense. We paid, but once we submitted, his return was rejected due to his AGI.

We fixed it and resubmitted, but we kept getting rejected.

So we decided to go to a tax specialist and file elsewhere. We were hoping to get a refund for the audit defense we paid for.

Lost State check in the mail

For some reason, my state return was not electronically delivered to my bank; therefore, it was to be mailed. The post office showed it coming in the mail but was never delivered.

I need a new check! We need to cancel/stop payment on the first check, and in order to send another check, fill out a form 435 to obtain another. This is the information I've been able to come up with so far.

Please contact me at 760-568-**** or by email with any help possible, and thank you. I'm not pissed at Free Tax USA; I'm pissed at the system!

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

I completed a federal return online for 2023 to include the state return. At the end I m told I can only mail because the agencies are not accepting wires.

This was after I paid the 14.99 without your site telling me it could not wire it. That was my purpose. I had already completed a hard copy on my own.

I was trying to get returns before the end of year. I want my money back or a credit on my United Explorer account Under my name for my mothers return.

The IRS has a questionnaire to determine your status. Free Tax USA sent it to me.

I filled it out. It stated I am Head of Household. Free Tax USA told me I am not Head of Household unless I have a dependent. I do not have a dependent.

I find the same problem with all the online tax services.

I printed a 1040 form, filled it out and mailed it to the IRS. They will allow me to be Head of Household.

Original review Feb 07, 2025

I am 92. I own my home.

I am not married. Connor Crowe lives with me and his father here for more than half the year. I am the head of the household. Look at the requirements.

Look where you put the child's name if he is not my dependent - it is on the form, near where you check head of household. Yes, I pay the bills, the insurance, and the taxes. You are charging me to talk to someone and will not allow me to do that. I have the same problem every year.

I am angry. Read the form.

Pros:
  • Easy to use if you have dependents
Cons:
  • Impossible for head of household with no dependents

Preferred solution: I am Head of Household with no dependents. It is clearly on each and every form. LOOK AT IT! READ IT!

User's recommendation: Great if everything is normal and no special circumstances.

Terrible service

I had multiple issues with this company. The platform is user-friendly, but if you have a question or concern, best wishes on getting an answer.

Supposedly, they submitted my tax return. After six weeks and constant checking for my refund, it wasn't processed. I went to the IRS to view transcripts. There weren't any amounts submitted.

FreetaxUSA charged a fee. I sent a report but submitted nothing.
