FreeTaxUSAReviews of freetaxusa.com

Why on earth would an American taxpayer (with a fairly simple return, like the vast majority of us) use anything else? Just finished my 2025 return, and I found the FreeTaxUSA program clear, easy to follow, easy to understand, and accurate. Free for the Federal return; $15.99 for the state. How is TurboTax (about $130) any better than this? Answer: it's not. Try FreeTaxUSA.

Giving 3 stars because it was an easy to use fairly cheap service and they do back years. MY ISSUE(s): I did a friend's taxes for him - he got $1700 back combined S/F and roughly $45 in charges. Odd, thing checked account today and deposit for $1024.66 which isn't the amount of the federal or state and certainly isn't both of them. Really not sure but PRETTY %99.98 sure it's them - SBTPGPG, LLC "Santa Barbara Tax Products Group" correct? his state was low around $289 all fees deducted should be about 1655.00 where's' the 600 and change and why would it come like that? Edit - talked to my son who's 2024 I did on the site as well. He is missing $800!!

They tell me they don't support e-filing for form 1116 AFTER I pay...

Web site was OK, but program does not accept Oil and gas income and depletion from a K-1. K-1 calculations were incorrect. Otherwise I liked the program. Have to use expensive TurboTax.

I don’t think my taxes were filed correctly I now owe the irs more money and they’re going to garnished my wages I also thought my renters rebate was filed come to find out after it was too late that they don’t file them. Why would you have me upload it if you weren’t going to file it? Asked about it and all customer service says is it’s in the fine print.

After trying two other tax preparation websites that either claimed I didn't qualify or suddenly informed me they wouldn't file federal returns for Florida residents unless I upgraded to a paid version, I was becoming frustrated. By the time I found FreeTaxUSA, I had already entered my tax information twice and was not looking forward to doing it a third time. Fortunately, FreeTaxUSA was exactly what I was looking for. The process was straightforward, easy to follow, and completely free for my federal return. I had a somewhat unusual tax situation despite having a relatively low income, but the software handled it without issue. Unlike the other sites I tried, there were no unexpected restrictions, no surprises, and no pressure to purchase upgrades. Had I started with FreeTaxUSA first, I would have finished my return in about twenty minutes instead of spending nearly two hours repeating the same information on multiple sites. Within less than an hour of filing, I received confirmation that the IRS had accepted my return. As it turns out, I had actually used FreeTaxUSA the previous year as well. I had forgotten until I visited the site and discovered my laptop had saved my login information. That was a pleasant surprise and probably says more about my recordkeeping habits than it does about the software. Needless to say, I'll be using FreeTaxUSA again next year.

I have used FreeTax several years for my federal returns (no state income tax in FL). It is not difficult and is comprehensive. FreeTax generosity allows additional returns for my family using my ID verification without inconveniencing them. I recommend 100 percent.

Was very easy State and Federal! I Originally left a poor review because state requested more information from me. I thought it was a big deal.They just wanted a copy of my w2 form.
