Cheap, but not flexible; Support needs work
If you are on a budget and your taxes are simple, Freetax is the place to go. However, keep in mind that it's tailored for individual tax returns, primarily W2 employees. If you own an LLC or corporation, forget it. There is no option there.
As for the system, it's not very flexible. Finding your way around can be difficult, and you can't usually jump from one place to another without going through the whole interview again. Furthermore, you can't easily see the forms prior to finishing the interviews.
The help system lacks details, and often just links you to IRS documents which are often lengthy, difficult to understand, and ambiguous.
Support is usually responsive, but they don't keep late hours. Additionally, they aren't very knowledgeable about tax issues like many of their competitors are. Their support is geared more toward using the system.
Overall, it's an average experience for my circumstances. If you are a W2 employee, on a budget, and you don't have a lot of write-offs or deductibles, then Freetax is the way to go. If, however, your taxes are more complicated, it may be wise to look elsewhere unless you have some knowledge of the tax code.

Easy & Smooth
This was my first time using FreeTaxUSA. I'd been using a more expensive competitor but not anymore! This was such an easy and clear interface it made the process very easy for me.

Exceptional tax program
I have been using freetax usa for 5 years now. I have not had any problems with the state or federal IRS agencies. Freetax usa has help stop me from paying more than 600.00 to pay h&r block or turbo tax. I will forever be with freetax usa

Great Software
Doing my tax return with FreeTaxUsa, it was a good experience. I think I got the biggest refund that I hadn't gotten with other tax preparation companies. The cost was exceptional!, it was much, much cheaper than any other company. I don't deny that sometimes the process was a little confusing, sometimes the program didn't save my information, also there were pages that the program led me to do, but I never found them again. Then I have to start the process again, that was a bit exasperating. I also think that is necessary to give us more understandable information on some topics instead of just sending us to read direct information from the IRS, which for laymen like in taxes is difficult to understand.

Easy to use, simple interface
As a CPA, when doing my own my taxes, I detest software that tries to turn the process into an interview and obscures the actual forms and calculations. Freetaxusa is a nice mix of easy to use, yet still providing transparency to the actual forms and calculation for review.

Very Easy, Useful, and Inexpensive Service
Used to use H&R Block, my friend showed me FreeTaxUSA a few years ago, now I do my taxes myself in the same amount of time it took to drive to H&R Block and meet with someone, and it costs $10 instead of $300

Unbeatable Price, Product, & Customer Service
The product is very easy to use. Tax code is confusing as such, but freetaxusa makes it a piece of cake for novices like myself.
The price is unbeatable. They even publish a 10% discount on the already low price.
Customer Service: This is the best part. Every agent on the chat is very very knowledgeable and patient. If they don't know the answer, they will go and find it for you. Exceptionally speaking, one of the agents stood by me and waited on my deadline day for tax filing. The agent stayed overtime after the customer service hours to make sure that I felt comfortable filing my return and helping me out along the way. It was exceptional and I am very much impressed!!! You guys are the best!!! Let me know if I can do anything in return ever.

Great and easy to maneuver. There are help tags if you get stuck or just have a question. You probably wont get stuck though. Its simple. It wont let you a noticeable error either. It will turn red and ask you if you need to go back

FreeTaxUSA made it very easy for us to complete our current year's taxes along with resubmitting last year's due to errors. This is excellent, online tax prep without all the bloated software being added to my hard drive. We will definitely use FreeTaxUSA in the future.
