My federal return was filed successfully -- finally! After several rejections. I owed. The New York State return, based on the same information, proposed an enormous - and to me unbelievable -- refund. Rejected, however, continuously. FYT offered no help. The software was clearly glitchful, and nothing further could be done. They begged off with no practical solution. The impénétrable software led me in circles, with no, absolutely no recourse, nor means to a solution. I seriously wonder whether the payment I was led to believe went to the IRS actually goes to FYT. This is a "resource" for fools unable or unwilling to use legitimate accountants, preys on those who cannot afford to do so, and are witless when it comes to doing it themselves, which given tbe intricacies of the hopelessly convoluted IRS process, is not necessarily à fault of their own. FYT is not exactly à scam, per se, it's just à poor alternative for the credulous and the poor.

Charged $50 to file despite being "free" and verified by the IRS. Absolute scumbags and will never use them again. Will tell everyone I know not to use them, too.

I used the site because the IRS linked to it as a "Trusted Partner" for the free filing option for anyone with an AGI under $79,000. Went through the whole process of filling everything out for the past 3 hours, only to find (at the veeeery end) that they want to charge me $55 for federal and $50 for state filing. No free option. And My AGI is under $60k.

I can't call this site a scam, because it's vouched for by the IRS, but their customer service and entire website is a mess. Last year I thought I filed everything correctly, and despite clicking on the IRS's "file for free" link, I didn't question paying the fee at the end because I filed past the deadline. This year as I was filing my 2022 taxes, I found out that my return last year had been rejected which has never happened before. As I filed this year, again using the "file for free" link, I was forced to pay a fee at the end despite filing my taxes before the deadline. I was told by a customer service rep that the link must have rerouted me through the paid service. I never chose the paid option, so I should not have to pay the fee. Now my 2022 return has been rejected, and I have to paper file. I was told the fees would be refunded because I'm paper filing, but the fees weren't refunded, and now I'm being told I still have to pay even if I paper file. I've never had this much trouble in the past with taxes. For whatever reason, my PIN is never accepted through this site despite being totally fine with other services I used. I'm also incredibly frustrated for them to have these hidden secret fees that they don't tell you about until the very end. One of the service reps said that they aren't trying to be sneaky by doing this, but then what other reason do you have for eliminating all transparency? TLDR: website is a mess, customer service reps are awful, and you'll end up paying hidden fees.
