So, I have been using FreeTaxUSA since 2018. I've NEVER had a problem e-filing through the program. A friend also uses it. No problems.

As part of the verification process before e-filing, you put in your last year's AGI.

Looked it up. Entered. All good.

An hour later, I get an email that my filing was rejected because the AGI didn't match.

So, I think, gee, perhaps the problem I had with 2024 (original horror show) somehow affected the AGI on record. It didn't make sense that it would because it was related to tax subsidy calculation, but WTF, I log into the IRS and check my 2024 transcript. AGI they have on record is what I entered. So, I try again. Another rejection. Called my friend who uses FreeTaxUSA, she had no problem e-filing.

I gave it another shot. Rejected. Printed, signed, packaged return up with rejection email (as instructed by FreeTaxUSA to show that I DID attempt to file 4/15 so I don't get dinged for late filing). Paid to send certified mail with return receipt because I don't trust whatever "new" processes they have in place.

Not really a big deal but when the little shit doesn't work, you can bet the big shit doesn't either.
