Not exactly the same but I did taxes one year on Credit Karma. A few years pass and I'm buying a house, lenders need tax returns. Credit Karma tax was sold off, support gets back to me after two days saying they can't help me at all getting the old return filed with them. Fuck this, never again.

Turns out it was easy to get the return from the IRS directly, but this turned me off from introducing "hip" tech into my financial life ever again.



It is good practice to save PDF copies of your tax returns so this way you don’t need to request them. I would recommend making a habit of this moving forward in general.


Oh you best believe I have copies of everything now, on my own server hah. Lesson learned :)


Odd. I was able to download my old returns from the cash.app taxes website. It wasn’t super simple but it was easy enough.


I had disabled my account, which I conveniently forgot to mention before (I actually forgot, wasn't trying to be dramatic).
