I've used TurboTax for the last 7 years and last year was the last. They get more expensive every year. FreeTaxUSA was completely free and you can even do stocks and dividends. They also walk you through everything exactly like TurboTax but it's free!

I have used another tax program for the past four years and this year I had something that I didn't have previous years...1099-Bs. The other program didn't know how to handle them in an easy fashion, your program did.

FreeTaxUSA was great. They keep info from past years and prompt areas that are easy to overlook. I had some unused short-term capital losses from last year that helped offset my short-term capital gains from this year. Thanks FreeTaxUSA!

Best tax prep software I've come across with reasonable prices! Had complex returns with s-corp k-1 income and carryforward short-term capital gains losses and it handled these scenarios with ease.

Seamless transaction. FreeTaxUSA will guide you all the way through the process. I had numerous 1099's; several 1099-Bs, 1099-INTs and 1099-DIVs as well as SS retirement IRA distributions and pension payments. All were entered without any confusion.

Filing was very straightforward. I was able to file 100% from my phone. It was even easy to manage a 1099-B. I really appreciate the option to be able to amend my tax return and talk to an expert. This service was an incredible value!

Started out using TurboTax, TurboTax was charging me when I added my 1099-B. I googled free federal tax return and used FreeTaxUSA. No charges or fees even with my 1099-B. I will use FreeTaxUSA again.

Very user friendly interface; took me 10 minutes to do federal and state returns which included a W-2, 1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-B, and one capital gain.
Tanya C.

I appreciate how straightforward the process and interface are and I appreciate that I don't have to pay extra just because I have a 1099-B to fill out. The system is designed in a way that makes me feel like I actually understand what is happening with my taxes.

I have always been able to do my own taxes. I was worried when I had capital gains this year that I would end up paying a lot of money for tax prep. FreeTaxUSA was easy to use and inexpensive!
