The only issue i had with FreeTaxUSA was that the design felt a bit dated on mobile. But it still worked fine and saved me over $60 compared to TurboTax. Once you get used to the simpler layout, it is actually very easy to navigate.

TurboTax has better integration if you use QuickBooks or other Intuit products. That is the only reason i stick with it. For anyone who just files personal taxes, FreeTaxUSA does the same job for a fraction of the cost.

FreeTaxUSA felt a bit plain at first but once i got going, i realized it’s actually very efficient. It handled my itemized deductions, mortgage interest and credits without issues. TurboTax might look nicer but functionally, they are almost identical.

I like that FreeTaxUSA lets you refile amended returns easily. TurboTax charges extra for that sometimes. For anyone who needs to make small corrections or adjustments, FreeTaxUSA is convenient. I have used it for two years now without a problem.

I used TurboTax for a long time until i realized how many hidden fees there were. Then i tried FreeTaxUSA and got the same results for way less money. The whole experience was much calmer without all the pop-ups and “upgrade” prompts.

FreeTaxUSA’s customer portal is actually pretty good. It stores all your old returns and you can access them anytime for free. TurboTax charges for that unless you pay for their premium service. That is another small win for FreeTaxUSA.

I have self-employment income, and both tools handled my Schedule C just fine. TurboTax looked prettier doing it, but FreeTaxUSA didn’t skip anything. I even double checked the math and it matched perfectly. I will keep saving the extra money.
