Is there a free version of Turbo Tax? What are some things we can claim that aren't obvious?

I did our taxes last year with the free version of H&R block. It was okay, but I heard of ALL these things you can claim that they didn't give me the option of claiming with the H&R block one. I want to use Turbo Tax. Has anyone used that, the free version? Is it any good? We have 3 kids- is it really possible to claim learning toys we buy for them?

Answer
We use Tax Act. It's taxact.com. They found us a TON of deductions we didn't know we could take. They just ask very detailed questions about your life and money. Make sure you have a receipt for everything you're going to deduct, though!!!

At what age did your child learn to clean up after themselves?

Im just curious about when you kids learned to pick up after themselves. Ive tried teaching my 14 month old to put her toys away, but she's not quite getting it. If I put something in the box she just runs over and pulls it out again.
When do you think she'll grasp the concept of tidying up?
Did you do anything different to get your child interested..like a game or a song or something?

Thanks!

Answer
Getting my 5 year old to clean up after herself is like pulling teeth. But my 20 month old will put stuff away when i ask her. i think it has a lot to do with personalities. But a great song is the Clean up song.
Clean up, Clean up
Everybody everywhere
Clean up Clean up
Everybody do your share
started singing that with my first when she was 18 months, and she still sings it sometimes. now my second is started to hum a little with it.
