This tax program is very easy to use! I love it! It walks you through and tries to get you all of the available credits that apply to you! And did I mention that it's free? Thanks FreeTaxUSA!!

This is the easiest and fastest way to file my taxes that I have ever used!! It's free, and the program prompted me whenever there was an opportunity to take a deduction or credit!

I thought I would have issues with filing this year because of the earned income credit but it was easy and if I messed up on something it alerted me!

I filed my kids' taxes--really appreciated this money-saving option for these simple returns. One of my kids is a college student and I loved that FreeTaxUSA was robust enough to catch the education credit she was eligible for while still saving me on cost.

Took me less than an hour even with some self-employed income and having a new baby! Love that it was free.

Very helpful, found credits I was not familiar with as I am now a homeowner.

Super easy and super cheap. I even had the EV tax credit and all I had to do was enter my VIN number and everything else was taken care of. I've already recommended FreeTaxUSA to multiple people.

Very thorough and user friendly. I have worked with a lot of tax programs and this one has to be the best in value for small business owners, gig workers or employees who contribute to a retirement fund and get the Saver's Credit. Love that the federal return preparation is FREE, e-filed and for the price this is hands down the best way to go!

Working a full time job while being a mom of 8 kids and trying to run a household is challenging enough, with FreeTaxUSA at least my taxes are one less thing I have to worry about!

I wish I knew about FreeTaxUSA years ago! This program is fantastic. It was simple to use and they find every credit possible. I would highly recommend this program.
