WA Working Families Tax Credit

Is there a chance that Intuit will rethink the idea of charging per return for the WA Working Families Tax Credit. With my firm, we are in WA but only a few clients qualify for this credit. We are not about to use one of our “unlimited” states for a non-required form, but it feels like an insult to charge the least affluent for this form. I have been (instead) sending my clients to file it online themselves, but I do fear that it is overwhelming for them.

    As Lloyd Christmas said in Dumb and Dumber when he found out his chances of being with Mary were one in a million --------------- there’s a chance.  Although I don’t think your chances are quite as high as Lloyd’s.

     I see on the website you can apply for it online for free, cant you send the client there directly and not waste your time on it? or maybe its a quick enough process that you can do it on the cheap for those that qualify.

    Or maybe it’s a community service that you enjoy doing for free. Kinda like pro bono assistance. Some law firms require the staff to do it.

    “it feels like an insult to charge the least affluent for this form” I understand what you are saying, but Intuit isn’t charging the least affluent. They are charging the tax professional. If you can do it online for the clients who you think can’t do it themselves, I’d do that.

    I used to do the 990 “postcard” online instead of paying the Lacerte per return fee for it, before I had unlimited.

    The more I know the more I don’t know.
