I’ve used freetaxusa for almost 20 years now. I’m always surprised more people don’t know about it (granted, from the name, it does sound like a total scam).
Wish we didn’t have to file taxes at all though…we have the technology.
One year I tried a couple of those free services, and they told me I owed over $5k. Not even exactly the same number. But turbo tax told me I only needed to pay $2k. Guess which one I used?
Not saying it’s always that way, but made me a lot more cautious about the smaller tax filing sites. It’s worth doing your taxes twice or more before submitting them to see the difference.
TurboTax. I used freetaxusa this year and I’m never going back.

I never gave it a second thought because of the name. It sounds like a cheap scam site.
I finally got convinced to use it this past year. I’ll never go back.
Have a care with some of those.

+1 for freetaxusa, used them for the last 3ish years with no issues. fuck turbo tax.
AARP has tax people for free in person both state and federal. They can electronically file for you too. Really great service.
