"I have used fretaxusa for 3 filing years. Two of which were late and they truly were a life saver. I had to go back and file 2014 last year and this year finally caught up and filed 2015. Very easy and pretty painless!"

"I was in a position where I had to file several years all at once. FreeTaxUSA was just as easy as any other service I paid for previously and helped me take a lot of complicated information and make sense of it! I've used it ever since and tell everyone I know that it is the best bet for filing taxes!"
