Before you choose
Compare free plans and trials
Free plan and free trial are separate comparison fields. A tool can offer one, the other or both.
Review the paid-from price alongside the free option so you can see what changes when your return needs more support.
Match support to your income
Check support for self-employment, investment income and rental income. These fields help you narrow the list to software that fits the income types on your return.
Check filing and audit support
State filing is a listed comparison field. Confirm that the software covers the state return you need.
Audit support is listed separately. Read the entry details to understand whether that help fits your needs.
Choose a platform you can use
Entries cover web, Android, iOS, Windows, macOS and Linux. Check the platform line before you sign up, especially if you plan to work from a phone or tablet.
Web access can suit a computer or browser workflow, while mobile and desktop availability varies by tool.
