The big idea
If you worked a part-time job, taxes were probably withheld. You likely owe nothing — but you need to file to get the money back. AI can walk you through free filing options.
Some examples
- Ask AI if you need to file at your income level
- Ask AI for free filing options (FreeTaxUSA, IRS Free File)
- Ask AI what a 1099 vs W-2 means
- Ask AI to estimate your refund before filing
Try it!
Pretend you made $4000 from a summer job. Ask AI to estimate your refund and recommend a free filing option. Walk through one screen to see how easy it is.
