    I don’t have a complex tax return but I’d rather pay an accountant to file my federal return for me than give these companies my business.

    Whenever I can efile my return without giving intuit, hr block or other mega corp my business, that will be a great day

      Don’t know if they’re a mega corp, but FreeTaxUSA has been great for me. Free for simple federal tax returns.

        They are part of the Free File Alliance lead by Intuit that lobbied to prevent the IRS from creating their own free tax filing tool.

        Not like we have much choice when it comes to free tax filing until IRS gets their direct file up and running for all.
