    Iowa state tax question

    Last year I switched to FreeTaxUSA and was happy with it, so I decided to use it again this year. One thing that I noticed is that when I used turbotax to handle state taxes, it would ask me about my car registration fees. I noticed with FreeTaxUSA, it never asks. What am I missing?

    In Game Betting-Local teams?

    I noticed during the ISU-Houston game last night that I could bet on every active game, except the ISU game was grayed out. Is there some kind of rule that doesn't allow this?
