I have been using FreeTaxUSA for many, many years....the best out there, in my opinion. I even had to do an amended return one year - easy peasy!!! I have recommended to many friends and family!!!
Drew D.

Excellent tax program from prep to filing federal and state. Nice that info is kept from the previous year. Helps make sure you don't miss anything in the current year. Also, I had to file an amended return due to not receiving timely info from one of my accounts and the amended return was quick and easy. Thanks.

I have used this for years and have gotten family and friends to use it. It questions you for possible scenarios. Love the past history as a reminder for this year. Have had to amend once and it was very easy. Hate doing taxes but this is the best way.
Rita M.

I find this program easy to follow, easy to go back to, easy to do an amended return and easy to understand. I have used FreeTaxUSA for many years. The price is right and it is very inclusive with all aspects of my tax situation. I have recommended this to many others…why not?
Vera T.

I have been using FreeTaxUSA for 3 years now, and they have helped me with the simplest of returns to the very complicated ones (investments, foreign tax credits, etc.). I have also used them for amending my returns and that was pretty smooth as well. I have used both H&R Block and TurboTax in the past, and I really prefer this over them.
Alex K.

I have been using this program for many years and find it easy to use and it has always been accurate, even when I had to amend my taxes.
Brandon O.
Ohio
I've used FreeTaxUSA for 3 years now. It's easy to use and inexpensive. I pay for the Deluxe version because I frequently get corrected 1099s from my broker so I need to file amended tax returns, which are included in the Deluxe version. I've used the support e-mail and received responses in the same day, or following day, which is unbelievable.
Steve H.

FreeTaxUSA is simple to use and I like that I can choose to download, print, or just save my returns in my FreeTaxUSA account in case I need them in the future. They make it easy to amend a return if there is a mistake too.
