Free Tax Return Software

Options
I am after some free tax return software. I have got so far with my return and thought I could do it myself hence leaving it so late but now finding I need to double check my calculations.

Sorry if this has already been asked but had a search and couldn't find any recent advice on it.

Thanks

NG

  • The HMRC site has free software on there you just go along and it works it all out

    What are you struggling with, specifically? Can I help (I am an accountant so would be happy to advise if I can) publicly on here if it will help you and others

    Thanks so much. I am struggling. I have used the online HMRC form but am unsure about the process rather than anything. For example, I have losses to carry over from 2008-09 (I rent out two properties at a loss), and according to the calculator for income tax for 09-10, I have underpaid my income tax (through my salary) and owe a small amount. But can I offsett this against the losses from 08-09 (I also have losses for 09-10)?

    These notes tell you when you can and can't offset property losses against other income.

    Thanks Pam17, had a look at the notes, unfortunately they don't really help me answer the question of whether I need to pay anything to HMRC. I am tempted just to pay it to get the damned thing off my desk, it's only £170....
