I started early and asked for an extension to work through some complications and was able to pick up where I left off without a problem. Easy to use.

Worked great, was able to file an extension and was reminded to file before the deadline. Liked that I could file state taxes.

I have used this app for several years. It is so easy, I especially like that it loads info from the previous year so I don't have to type it all again. They even handled an extension for me last year. Love these guys.

Due to the extreme winter we experienced in Wisconsin this year, my wife and I extended our stay in Arizona into April. I extended since we didn't have any of our tax filing info with us. FreeTaxUSA made that process easy.
