They all still guide you. No need to go to the forms directly unless you want to (and if supported, not everyone supports direct form entry). If you do go with HR Block, no need for Premium - Deluxe download will get the job done.

Thank you

I am using NerdWallet now. I tried Marcus and Empower. They are all free and decent, just need time to get used to the new UI.

Marcus is good for most popular banks, but not for all banks, CU etc

Freetaxusa sounds like scam website. Wondering if it is as secure as Turbo Tax.
Far from a "scam" website... been using it for years with 0 issues...

Am in the process of using Cash App Tax now to get rolling, was a TT user the past few years. Is it really totally free? Im not going to get to the end and find that the refund will only go to my Cash App balance or some nonsense like that? Whats weird so far is that it forced me to 'make a new account' after signing in with my phone number (same one i used to sign up for cash app years ago), and then it tried to tell me my address was my childhood home. The cash app is all phone based obviously so working through a web site now has some continuity hiccups.

Yep, was totally free for me to file Fed and State.

Refunds were direct deposited.

You do not need to use the app to do your taxes. See below.

FreeTaxUSA.com is 100% free for most filers and is not run by a bunch of jerks like Intuit. Please do not support Intuit. Source: am a CPA.

I concur. I've been using TurboTax for many years. But moving to freetaxusa this year. Don't want to give Intuit the pleasure anymore

I'm so mad I've been using TT Premier desktop version for the last 5 years because that's what it says I have to use on the TT website, because I was buying/selling stocks. Apparently from what I've read now, Deluxe desktop version could've worked.
Looks like they've updated the language for Premier to "Extra help for stocks & investments".

They also got banned by FCC to use the word FREE because their free turbotax version wasn't actually free.

Don't worry, they're still allowed to use "free*" - see attached pics from today

Quote from DeputyStankus :
My recollection is that most free services specifically exclude returns with trading and other more complex needs.

I probably wouldn't trust something that complex to a free service anyway.

Of course, I probably wouldn't trust a CPA, either, given that the only time I ever hired one they made several easy to spot mistakes and would've cost me much more in taxes if I had trusted them, so... every option sucks, I guess, lol!

You picked a bad CPA and now you don't trust them all?

I just filed my taxes using freetaxusa last night and it was flawless. Took awhile for me to figure out how to report my investments but it wasn't that hard to do a summary and attach the forms my crypto exchanges sent me to my tax form. Feels good not paying. I saved over 80 bucks.

Freetax USA is what I have been using for past few years. Simple pricing structure, good interface and handles all kinds of tax forms/situations. I do not even try to convince people at work who are turbo/hr block fanbois and justify spending the higher cost to buy "secure" , "trustworthy" software.

Does FreetaxUSA allow you to attach a PDF supporting document when e-filing, or are you paper mailing your return?

I think most consumer tax software don't support this feature.
