Reply to comment by cowperthwaite in How to file your taxes for free in Rhode Island in 2023 by cowperthwaite

In past years I have only had to pay for my state returns on freetaxusa, and even then I use a 10 or 20 percent off coupon which brings it below 30 bucks for a MA/RI return. I will have to confirm that is the case. Does tax slayer do free everything for all AGIs?

Edit: confirmed free federal for everyone, 15 bucks per state when over thresholds mentioned above.

From the article:

>TaxSlayer

>TaxSlayer offers free federal filing for those who are 57 or younger with an adjusted gross income limit of $60,000; for active military, the income limit is $73,000.

>TaxSlayer also offers free state returns for Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Vermont, but not Connecticut or Maine. Other state returns cost $39.95.

Gotcha so below those AGIs it makes sense. And above likely freetaxusa makes sense.

The article breaks down income limits for each program, but:

I don't like paying, so I'd never go with FreeTaxUSA unless my AGI was below 41k.

I'm using TaxSlayer because I have to file returns in RI and MA and don't want to pay.

However, if I didn't have to file a return in MA, for me, TaxAct would be a viable option.
