FreeTaxUSA also tried to charge me for state after saying it was free though.
I guess I could have printed out the forms I had just filled out and mailed them, but that's not exactly what was advertised. It's "free tax filing" not "free forms." I paid it because it was cheap, but then they kept kicking both my federal and state back to me with error messages saying they were not "accepted" by the IRS.
Cash app had no issues with the exact same information being "accepted." It just worked. And it was actually free.
I've never seen it say state filing is free. It's like $15 and its a deal.
FreeTaxUSA was very clear that state isn't free. But if your state doesn't suck they'll make it easy to do online on your state site anyway.
Also it's like $15 for state. I may have just happily paid that price for their service.
