    It’s a little late now, but don’t forget that FreeTaxUSA is free for federal and cheap for state. Also much less annoying to use than Intuit TurboTax. They don’t do those fake loading animations like “checking the best deal!” As if a computer can’t do like a billion of those a second.

      If I had to guess, this is a holdover from the 90s where people didn’t trust a quick calculation, and probably doubted the application was properly choosing the standard or itemized deductions.

      MyFreeTaxes.org has been what I’ve used. Sponsored by United Way and EzPz. Only catch is that it only works up to a certain income level, but free state and federal filing as long as you’re under the threshold.
