I am a self-employed person and sometimes don't have the money to get my taxes done. It's nice to know that I can have a website that is good and allow me to do what I need to do at an affordable price

I have filed my taxes with them before but that was before I became self employed. I thought that it would be hard but it was extremely easy and I was able to get my taxes done with very little headache. I will continue to use this service in the future.

I have avoided doing my taxes because I am a self employed contractor with several 1099's and needing to do a schedule C. This program is so easy it just walked me through it step by step.

FreeTaxUSA is the best free tax program I have found, simple to use and also has free 1040 self-employment filing, which I haven't found with any other. Thanks.

I have a complex tax return because I am self-employed and have many Schedule A itemized deductions Your software is easy to follow and efficient. I have used FreeTax USA for several tax seasons now. It's excellent. Thank you.

The only tax preparations service I could find that didn't charge more for self-employment income. State prep was lowest price, too.

This makes it at least five years in a row that I've used FreeTaxUSA and I have no plans to stop. This year the software even helped me set up taxes for self-employment without me even having to ask!
