      Does the filing division of the IRS handle that?

        No, not it’s a rather neutral change that just makes sense. Now that I’ve got a taste, I want more.

      End time zones. Instead of converting what time it is somewhere else, I’d rather convert what time dawn/mid-day/dusk is.

    So how does this work in states with income tax? I can file federally for free but then how do I file with the state? I don’t know of any commercial options that allow for state filing only and have been using freetaxusa the last couple years (since Credit Karma went to shit) and still only pay for state filing.

      It doesn’t work for state unfortunately and there isn’t an alternative. I also use freetaxusa. Maybe it’s time to start pushing our states to make their own version of the federal site.
