File Taxes for Free

File Your Taxes for Free

Is it seriously tax time again? Already?! You've got to be kidding me. I swear, it's every freaking year, like clockwork.

Before I get to any freebies, let's get one thing out of the way. If you assume I'm going to take this opportunity to rewatch my favorite Simpsons tax day clip, then you know me too well!

If you're looking to get your IRS tax return in faster than Homer or before another huge backlog piles up, then I've got some free and discounted options below!

Who can file their taxes for free?

According to the IRS, anybody who made less than $79,000 a year can file their taxes for free online. This means roughly 70% of Americans are eligible to file for free!

The IRS has put together a collection of 8 Free File IRS partners that each specialize in certain states and AGI. Here's the full list of providers for the 2024 filing season with direct links to their IRS Free File Program pages and I've listed any free state filings they offer.

Additional Free Tax Partners

H&R Block Free – Another free federal and state tax option is H&R Block. On top of being free, they're heavily promoting the difference between them and TurboTax.

H&R Block TurboTax 2022 Free Tax Difference

H&R Block is offering 45 forms required for filing your free online taxes, which is twice as many as TurboTax. They specifically mention these situations to look out for.

  • For Families – Child and Dependent Care Expenses
  • For Students – Student Loan Interest Deduction
  • For Students – Tuition and Fees Statement
  • For Uninsured – Health Coverage Exemptions

Obviously, if any of these situations apply to you, H&R Block sounds like the way to go! Here's a full list of supported forms on their “free online” plan.


Credit Karma Tax – Credit Karma Tax is a premium product that's 100% free, from start to finish. That includes all of our super-useful features, plus free filing for all supported forms and situations. Have a side-hustle? Own a home or sold some stock? Other tax services might charge you to itemize these deductions – but we don't.

From what I can tell, they don't even have a premium plan, so there's really no coupons or promo codes needed.

I will note that I've seen some negative reporting on this company. Long story short, they use your tax returns to target you with financial advertising…


TurboTax Free EditionAs of 2022, I can no longer recommend TurboTax Free as a good filing option. Pro Publica recently published a scathing expose detailing all the complex ways Turbo Tax tries upselling you to pointless services you don't need.

TurboTax still offers both free federal and state tax returns if you qualify and only need basic forms, like a 1040. But overall, I'd personally prefer to go with a different company.

Free Military Tax Options

Those in the military have an extra option with MilTax. It's a free service by the Department of Defense that uses a version of H&R Block's software. It's available to all active-duty service members, anybody in the National Guard or the reserves, and to their families. Their free program has no income or tax form restrictions as well!

One nice perk is they have both a free toll number (800-342-9647) and a live chat if you have any tax questions!

Where can you get free personal tax help?

If you need help with filing your taxes, you may qualify for the free IRS' Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program if any of these conditions apply to you:

  • People who generally make $64,000 or less
  • Persons with disabilities
  • Limited English-speaking taxpayers

The IRS has operated this free service for over 50 years!

There is also a free IRS' Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) program that can help you if you are at least 60 years old. This service specializes in n questions about pensions and retirement-related issues unique to seniors.

Both VITA and TCE sites are managed by IRS partners and staffed by their volunteers who want to make a difference in their communities. The IRS-certified volunteers who provide tax counseling are often retired individuals associated with non-profit organizations that receive grants from the IRS.

VITA and TCE sites are generally located at community and neighborhood centers, libraries, schools, shopping malls and other convenient locations across the country.

To locate the nearest VITA site near you, use the VITA Locator Tool or call 800-906-9887.

To locate the nearest TCE site near you, use the AARP Site Locator Tool or call 888-227-7669. These sites are typically only open between January and April.

Wrapping Up

So there you have it! With one of those sites, you should be able to file both of your taxes for free or extremely cheap.

Now hopefully we get a break from all these taxes next year! I hear it's a leap year, that's gotta help us somehow.


Claim Free Missing Money

How to Find YOUR Missing, Unclaimed Money & Property!

Some Hiffers have already found a few hundred dollars owed to them!

Wow! $113 from an old insurance company! Thanks! 😁

I did a search on your “Missing Money” link and found my husband about $58! Nothing for me (rats), but still great for my husband. Thank you!!! – Barbara

My friends and I have shared various online chats since 2001, but we didn't discover Slack wasn't until 2015. It's now a program I couldn't live without. Goofing off and sharing links throughout the day with each other is so easy, even as we're spread across the globe.

A while back, one of the Slack rooms lit when a buddy of mine found an old link on Reddit about free unclaimed money. The following conversation ensued:

Free Unclaimed Money

We laughed and my buddy proceeded to call his dad to walk him through claiming his $113. It was only later that it struck me. If one of my good friends didn't know about this page on HIF detailing how to search for unclaimed money, then I bet a ton of readers who haven't been with HIF since Day 1 don't know about it either!

So I decided to dust off this old post and republish it in the hopes that more Hiffers could find some free cash!

Wait, Free Money? What's the Catch?

Long story short, there are a few websites where you can search your name for unclaimed money you're entitled to. This could be money from bank errors, back pay from past jobs or employers, money from stocks, or from a myriad of other ways for money to be owed to you.

And this is serious money we're talking about here. Collectively, all the states hold over $40 billion in unclaimed money, assets, and property! California holds over $9 billion and New York holds over $16 billion. Even little old Connecticut holds close to $876 million.

Unclaimed-Money-from-Connecticut

So where does all this money come from? Well, for starters, the government is a big source. If the government owes you money and you do not collect it, then it's unclaimed. They're not allowed to just keep it! This also applies to private companies. State laws demand companies that owe you or your business money to turn it over to the state after a certain amount of time. This includes banks, credit unions, utilities, employers, and more. It also includes investments like pensions, bonds, or stocks, among other sources.

Many sources of unclaimed money come from deaths as well. It's not uncommon for wills to be outdated, leaving assets to distant relatives with a new names. It's also common for money to be left in you

As you can see, my buddy found $100 for his dad from a tax rebate he was owed from the mid-90s. The most I've ever found for myself was an $8 check from Verizon. But hey, it was something! I know of people who discovered unclaimed property from bank accounts, safe deposit boxes, stock dividends, literal unpaid wages!, tax rebates, insurance payouts, and so many other ways.

Find Unclaimed Money

State Unclaimed Money Forms

All 50 states, plus DC, have a dedicated state website with an official search form. So that should clearly be your first step in searching for unclaimed money and property! I highly recommend searching your last name and business name in every state you've ever lived or worked in. Below are direct links to each state's search form and you can learn more from the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators.

Infographic Unclaimed Money Guide_Tips

Your next stop should be this US Government official unclaimed money guide. They breakdown all of the individual sites you can search for unclaimed money.

While the government doesn't have a central website for locating unclaimed money, they do have specific areas to look based on where the money is coming from.

Unclaimed Back Wages

  • Unpaid Wages – If you think you may be owed back wages from your employer, search the Wage and Hour Division's (WHD's) database of workers for whom it has money waiting to be claimed. WHD is a part of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL).

Life Insurance

  • VA Life Insurance Funds – Search the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) for unclaimed insurance funds that are owed to certain current or former policyholders or their beneficiaries. Note: This does not include funds from Servicemembers' Group Life Insurance (SGLI) or Veterans' Group Life Insurance (VGLI) policies from 1965 to the present.

Retirement

Taxes

  • Tax Refunds – The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) may owe you money if your refund was unclaimed or undelivered.

Banking, Investments, and Currency

  • Bank Failures – Search the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) for unclaimed funds from failed financial institutions.
  • Credit Union Failures – Find unclaimed deposits from credit unions.
  • SEC Claims Funds – The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) lists enforcement cases where a company or person owes investors money.

Mortgages

  • FHA-Insurance Refunds – If you had an FHA-insured mortgage, you may be eligible for a refund from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). To search the HUD database, you will need your FHA case number (three digits, a dash, and the next six digits—for example, 051-456789).

International

  • Foreign Claims – U.S. nationals can find money owed to them from foreign governments after loss of property.

Beware Unclaimed Money Scams

Finally, watch out fir people who pretend to be the government and offer to send you unclaimed money for a fee. These scammers use a variety of tricks to get your attention, but their goal is the same: to get you to send them money. Government agencies will not call you about unclaimed money or assets.

Just remember: if somebody asks you to pay for “free” money, then it's not free!

With those tips, hopefully some Hiffers can find some free cash floating around out there. Get started with the links above and good luck!

If you find any missing money for you or a loved one, please share the good news with us!

Free Share of Stock worth up to $250

Webull’s 12 Free Fractional Shares! – Each Freebie Valued $3 up to $3,000 🤑

For September 2023 you can get up to 12 free Fractional Shares of stock just for opening an account and funding any amount! Make an initial deposit of ANY AMOUNT (like a single $0.01 penny) and receive 12 fractional shares that are each valued between $3 to $3,000!

That means you'll get a guaranteed $36 with the chance to get all the way up to $36,000!

If you haven't created a Webull account yet, I'd be sure to snag your free stock shares while you still can!

You may remember Robinhood's awesome free stock promotion where you received a free share of stock that could be worth up to $300. A few Hiffers even got the mega-expensive stock shares for free and were able to cash out within weeks!

Well, you know what they say about success, imitation, and flattery. Enter Webull Financial!

They saw Robinhood blasting off to the moon and thought “hmmm, we could do that too.” But what's a good way to differentiate themselves? Oh, I know, offer up to a dozen free fractional stock shares that could be worth up to $36,000! 🤑

Free Webull Stock

What's Webull

Similar to Robinhood, Webull offers zero commissions stock trading with their free mobile app. They're a registered broker dealer with the SEC and a member of FINRA. Webull Financial LLC is also a member of SPIC, which is the stock version of insurance like FDIC is for banking. SIPC protects your securities up to $500,000 ($250,000 of cash). I wouldn't keep anything above that on my account, but then again I'll never have that much money 🤣

Their main goal is to bring free stock trading to the masses. Gone are the days of paying a $7 commission just to buy or sell stock. With Webull you get free trading of stocks, both buying and selling.

This means you get unlimited free trades, with no minimum balance, along with a boatload of investment and research charts, information, and news – something I found lacking from Robinhood.

So how do they make money while offering free trades? By having a lot of customers! Webull makes tiny amounts of money on cash balances, interest, and premium memberships, so they don't charge crazy-high fees just for selling stock.

Obviously, Webull hopes we become lifelong members. But for our intents and purpose, we just want that sweet, sweet free share of stock!

Free Cryptocurrency Trading

Webull crypto also has a section where you can buy and sell various cryptocurrencies for free. The main cryptos they seem to carry are bitcoin, ethereum, litecoin, cardano, dogecoin, and shiba.

If you wish, you can sell your free stock and use the profits to invest in crypto instead!

Practice for Free

Have you ever imagined trading on the stock market with millions of dollars? Well you can use their free paper trading feature to “buy” unlimited stocks with fake, paper money. Not only is this fun to see how you'd do with lots of money, but it's also useful for practicing your trading skills before risking actual money! Then, once you get the hang of things, you'll feel more comfortable using real money to place orders.

Earn Bonus Free Shares

Webull also gives referral bonuses of free stock for every friend and family member you get to join with your referral link.

Get your free share of stock now!

Get your Free Stocks

To get your free shares of stock, you need to do the following easy steps within 24 hours! If you take longer than 24 hours to sign up, you won't get your free shares!

  1. Signup here to open a new brokerage account.
  2. Upon registering, follow the prompt to download the Webull app for your Apple iPhone or Google Android mobile phone.
  3. Wait for your account to be approved. Mine took around an hour, but I've seen some people take up to a full day.
  4. Open the app on your mobile devices and make any deposit of any amount. You can deposit as little as a single penny
  5. Once your deposit clears, receive your free fractional stock shares, each worth anywhere from $3 to $3,000!

Webull Free Stock June 2023

From the same screen, you can invite any friends and family to Webull for even more free shares.

What to do with your Free Stocks

Your stocks will be credited to your account within 10 business days. After that, you can do whatever you want with it! You can sell them for cash, keep them for a long-term investment, transfer into crypto trading, or even transfer them to a different platform. Though I think you'll agree the Webull app is far superior for compared to other free stock apps!

Please share in the comments what free stock you received – 🤞 it's something good!

Delivery.com promo codes

Free $10 Delivery Credit on First Orders!

Delivery.com is a restaurant, liquor, grocery, and laundry delivery service operating in hundreds of cities nationwide. They're currently offering new users free $10 off their first order of $15+ simply by creating an account and ordering today! If you have a local restaurant signed up with Delivery.com, then you can use this promo to score a super cheap lunch or dinner meal today.

I've used this website for years now and one nice perk is that they constantly email additional limited time promo codes good for $5, $10, even $15 off your next meal. I probably order through them twice a month and almost every time I'm using a free discount code they sent me.


Fetch Earn Money from Grocery Receipts

Fetch: Earn Gift Cards with Your Receipts!

A while ago, I wrote about earning money by scanning your receipt with ReceiptPal. After cashing out an Amazon gift card with them, I started wondering what other apps pay you for snapping quick photos of your receipts. Turns out there are a ton and my absolute favorite of them all is Fetch!

If you've been using ReceiptPal, then Fetch will seem just like home. Scan your receipt with your smartphone, earn points, then spend those points on gift cards. You're literally getting paid for everyday shopping you're doing already.

Over the past two years, I've redeemed over $100 in free Amazon gift cards from points I earned with Fetch!

After downloading Fetch for either Android or Apple iOS, create an account and start snapping photos of any receipts! A valid receipt just needs to have the store's name, the date, and the total spent. This can be a grocery, gas, restaurant, or any other type of receipt!

How Does Fetch Work

Earn your first gift card today

When I posted this last month, multiple Hiffers earned $5 gift cards right off the bat.

Thanks, Goob! In less than 10 minutes I downloaded the app, set up my account, scanned my grocery receipts from the last 2 weeks and earned enough points for a $5 gift card. This is awesome!!

Same for me as the previous commenter! Scanned the receipts I had in my wallet and along with the bonus (and a bonus for buying hot dogs, lol), got myself a $5 Amazon gift card.

I had a few recent receipts in my purse and, not knowing if they’d be accepted, decided to try and capture them. They were accepted and, along with the referral bonus, in about 10 minutes including sign-up time, I had enough points for a $5 Visa card. WooHoo! Of course I’ll be proactive now and build toward a real reward. Thanks…

How Fetch Works

One thing you'll quickly notice is how much more info there is with Fetch! Not only do they scan your receipt, but it'll actually break down what you bought into categories and give you a nice summary.

On top of that, Fetch gives bonus points if you buy certain products. These items rotate each week and you don't have to buy them in order to scan your receipt and earn rewards. However, if you happen to buy any of them, you'll get a few hundred or even thousand bonus points.

My absolute favorite feature is you have 14 days to scan your receipts in Fetch. ReceiptPal forces you to scan receipts within 5 days, which left me forgetting to scan tons of receipts. Now, I let them pile up on my shelf. Then I scan them each weekend and toss them away.

I find I'm earning points, and therefore gift card rewards, much faster with Fetch. Not only are their rewards easier to obtain by having lower thresholds, but even the time I spend in the app itself is small. The camera function couldn't be faster to snap a picture and move on with the rest of my day.

Pro Tip: If your grocery store has a self-checkout area, look for receipts other people left behind! Fetch will take any receipt, not just your receipts! 😉

Common Fetch Questions

  • Is there a limit to how many receipts I can submit? – You can submit up to 35 receipts per 7-day period.
  • Can I use coupons or other receipt rewards apps and still earn Fetch rewards points? – You bet! Fetch can be used with coupons and other apps, so you can save money and stack your rewards earnings on top. In fact, there's no reason not to use multiple receipt reward apps!
  • How long do I have to submit a receipt? – My favorite Fetch feature is you have a full two weeks (14 days) after the purchase date to submit your receipts.
  • Where does Fetch work and what stores participate? – Fetch works with most major grocery, convenience, liquor, drug, club, and big box stores. A full list of participating sites can be found on their website.

Have any other Hiffers used Fetch yet? What did you think about it!?

Free Prescription Drug Discount Card

Free Prescription Discount Drug Card for Humans 👩 or Pets 🐶

If you missed the earlier free EpiPen replacement post, then definitely check that out. It's an amazing freebie that's still active if you can't afford an EpiPen.

In that post, I briefly mentioned how HIF has a brand new free prescription card that you can print out and start using immediately. It's a free drug card that helps people without health insurance afford their important medicine. You can print this page or bookmark it and start using it immediately!

Well, today I woke up to this alert.

Free Drug Card Discount

That's a $78 prescription bill that some Hiffer only paid $25 for! I have no idea who they are or what they bought, but the idea that I helped somebody knock 2/3 off their medicine bill puts a giant smile on my face.

If you don't have health insurance but still need medication, then all you have to do is print out a free drug card and take it to any participating pharmacist (CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, Costco, most grocery chains, and thousands of independent retailers) to get a free discount on your prescription drugs.

How much are the free prescription savings?

Most savings are anywhere in the 10-30% range, but as you can tell from the example above, some drug discounts go as high as 85%!

I was even able to find some examples from earlier this year, where many common drugs were around 60% off.

Again, this discount drug card is only for Hiffers without health insurance, but it's 100% free and all you have to do is print out a card at home and take it to your nearest participating pharmacy the next time you need any medicine!

Multiple Ways to Save on Meds!

It's surprisingly easy to use the free drug card.

Each of these methods works, so take your pick!

Print It!

Print unlimited copies of this page (in black and white, no need for color!) to always have a copy. Keep a card in your car glove box, purse, wallet, etc. so you always have a free card when you need it!

You can also give printed cards to friends and family who qualify. There's no reason not to share the savings!

Save It!

Bookmark this page and show it on your phone to a pharmacist in person!

Again, you can share this link with friends and family via email, Facebook, or social media. They can show it to their pharmacist and if they qualify, start saving instantly!

Write It!

Write down the information on a slip of paper! There's only a few, small pieces of information in order for your pharmacist to save on both human and pet meds.

  • GROUP ID: NATIONAL01
  • MEMBER ID: NDC3497
  • BIN: 009893
  • PCN: ROIRX
App It!

Use the free app! It's available for both Apple iOS and Google Android.

Mail It!

If you do not have a printer or smartphone, request a single, free card via snail mail.

I will follow up with you via email, so please use your correct information!

Print a free pet drug card too!

It's not just us humans that need meds either! If you have a pet, you can also print out a free pet drug card! 🐶 🙀

Make sure you print this page or bookmark the link on a smartphone so you don't miss the savings!

I can't emphasize enough that this drug card isn't meant to replace health insurance, but instead help those without it. If any of you fall into that category, hopefully this will help you save a little money!

If you have experience with these, please share in the comments.


Amazon Prime Members Help Support HIF for FREE!

Amazon Primers Can Support HIF for FREE!

If you're an Amazon Prime member, did you know you can support HIF for FREE each month?

A few years ago, Amazon bought Twitch.tv, a site where millions of people watch others play video games. On Twitch, people who broadcast their video games are allowed to have paying “subscribers,” also known as “subs.” In exchange for $5 a month, subs gain special little perks and their money goes towards supporting their favorite streamers and content creators. I actually wrote about this feature back in 2017.

When Amazon took over, they gave Prime members a free subscription each month! This means anybody who links their Amazon and Twitch accounts are able to give a streamer $5 for free, each month. If you don't use the subscription each month, it simply expires.

This means Amazon Prime members get $60 in value each year and they lose it unless they use it each month!

How to Help HIF for Free

Now I don't actually stream a lot. In fact, I hardly stream at all. But your support here helps me out immeasurably. If you're a Prime member, here's how to easily link your Amazon and Twitch accounts.

  1. Go to Amazon Gaming.
  2. Select connect your Twitch account.
  3. Sign in to your Amazon.com account.
  4. Sign in to your Twitch account and then select Confirm.

Once you've linked your account, you'll be able to subscribe for free to my channel each month! Here's how, with pictures:

  1. Head to my Twitch page
  2. Click the “Subscribe” box with a star (looks like this)
  3. Click the “Subscribe Free” button next to “Free Subscription with Prime.” (looks like this)

That's it! With those simple steps, you've just done a lot to help support HIF and Goob! THANK YOU!
