I itemize my deductions and always thought I had to pay for a service to do that I was so relieved to discover that I can do my full taxes including deductions using FreeTaxUSA. This is a great and easy to use product.

Compared to H&R Block and TurboTax, FreeTaxUSA is more affordable and just as easy and accurate to use. I used this as a homeowner who had to deduct a lot of donations and manage mutual fund transactions so I don't have the easiest tax return. Great value.

This software makes filing taxes easy, even when itemizing deductions…and federal is free.

Easy to use and they check for every available deduction. I would have never taken the standard deduction but they encouraged me to do so and I got a bigger refund.

I've struggled with expenses and filing self-employed income until I found this tax service. It makes it easy and straightforward and I was able to claim all of the deductions I am entitled to with FreeTaxUSA. Definitely don't see myself using another service from here on!

Much easier to use than the other e-file sites. And it is free for federal. I have charitable donations as well as mortgage and property taxes. I thought I might have to pay but nope. Only paid for state. Will definitely use them again next year.

Best tax site I've used. Easy to navigate, great insights and very simple to use. This is the only site I've been on that addresses Qualified Charitable Contributions directly.

Straightforward questions that are easy to understand. Once all your documents are gathered you are able to get taxes done quickly. I am self-employed with a home office and completed my taxes in a half day and totally free as my state does not have a state income tax.

FreeTaxUSA asked me questions that other service providers did not (mainly about deductions for IRA contributions). There were also more questions in the miscellaneous section that could potentially boost your refund than other servicers.

Second year I've done my taxes through FreeTaxUSA and I can honestly say it gives me the most deductions, easiest site to navigate, and is affordable!! I have simple taxes and always feel confident they are done correctly.

I've been using this software for years and I absolutely love how easy it is to use. Every form that one could need is available. Also, it maximizes your deductions. I would recommend this to everyone.
