FreeTaxUSA was my choice. This is the first time I've filed my own taxes and I wish I had started a long time ago. Thanks for the advice!

[kylerdad]

Thank you for referring me to the Freetax USA program. I have used it again this year without the high cost and effort. I am looking forward to your next review. Best wishes and regards! 😀

[pattiepepper]

This was excellent and very clear!!! I tried 4 different "FREE" services before I found your review. I went with Free Tax USA. Thank you so much and I hope you get lots of commission for helping regular working class citizens!!! Thanks again!!!

Thanks for this information! Freetaxusa was a lot cheaper than Taxslayer! Taxslayer wanted $88 compared to only $14.99

[neicylove]

I truly needed this, thank you so much. This year will be stress free filing my taxes. Every year I dread these times but you help me to see my options…. I appreciate it.

Thank you. As a Canadian nobody knows where to put my Canada pension income. I recently learned it goes on the line with SSI due to an agreement with US, Canada and Germany. So it only cost $25.99, with fed & state tax, plus support. Free Tax USA walked me through the claiming dependant section, and pdf'd everything for easy printout and mailing. Now I can do all 3 years of back tax. Liberty Tax wanted $300+ for one stub, low income, each year of prep. Insane.

TurboTax is too expensive! I have one 1099 divided form and a normal w-2. Total price is 197 dollars! Last year was the last time for me

GREAT Breakdown!! Thank you so much for this 🙏🏿

If you feel like you understand the forms and don't need to be walked through it, you can use Free Fillable Forms, which files the forms directly with the IRS for free, regardless of income amount or type. My elderly father took tax preparation classes at one point and insists on doing his own taxes. I submit them using Free Fillable Forms. We've done this for 2 years because he was submitting them in written format via snail mail. An IRS agent told him he could no longer submit it written, which I think sounds incorrect. Hopefully, though the electronic way will keep the IRS from auditing him, since a person won't need to actually check it anymore.

OR we could all admit that taxation is theft. But for the sake of being able to convince others of this truth from OUTSIDE of a jail cell, Thank you for the information so I can avoid being punished for not accepting the protection racket charges.
