    • Thanks for the recommendation for FreeRaxUsa. I’ll check it out this year. Im using Turbo tax desktop at least one more time this year because it’s been around so long. I have a feeling they are trying to phase it out because they are pushing hard to use the online version. First I noticed the online version is free through CreditKarma and second, after I bought Desktop, they offered to let me try the online version for no additional charge. They also have some kind of deal with ADP.

    • I like the simplicity of rolling a 401K into the same place as all the other accounts. I admit I have not considered loosing the protections. Thanks for the post.

    • I’ve never heard of this, so thanks for the info. My holdings are in boring low cost index funds that aren’t ETFs, so I don’t know if anybody would want to borrow them, but I’ll investigate.
