We cannot find a user matching the name "Carla MacDougall”. We have attempted to get more information from you through TrustPilot but you have not responded to this request. It sounds like you may be confused about the website/software provider that you used.

This sight was thorough and helpful, asking all the questions that my former "paid" service asked. It was easy to use, took a lot less time to get the same result as the paid service, and even helped me with a problem submitting. All for FREE!

We DO NOT advertise assistance with EIN numbers. This is NOT a service that E-file.com currently or has ever offered. This individual is confused about the website they visited. Hopefully, they will check their confirmation emails/credit card statements and move this review to the correct place.

I am very sorry for the confusion with this. These were not "random charges", rather, it looks like you were not eligible for our free software due to the distributions that you received according to your 1099-R. Now, the distribution code on your 1099-R required that a 5329 and Schedule 2 was filed with your tax return. The IRS required additional tax on that early distribution and these forms are only available with our Premium software which costs $49.99. I apologize for the confusion with this but your filing situation was not eligible to use our free software.

Even though you made $50,000 in income, you could still owe taxes if you under-withheld during the year. We requested information from you so that we could help determine what caused this, however, you did not respond to our requests. Without looking at your filing specifically, the most likely cause is either under-withholding or incorrectly entering your tax information.

1040SR return

I did a simple basic 1040SR return; procrastinating, I did it within minutes on the 15th; easy... and I'm sure even if I had other forms, it would've been just as easy! And there was no fee 👍
