Before you choose

Paid from shows where paid access begins. Review the provider’s current terms before filing.
Match your device
Platform support varies across web, iOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux. Choose a service that works on the device you plan to use for preparation and filing.
Check tax and return types
Compare Tax types and Return types with the forms and income you need to report. The list gives these fields so you can check scope before creating an account.
Confirm filing and jurisdictions
Electronic filing and Jurisdictions are separate comparison fields. Confirm that the service supports electronic submission for the jurisdiction tied to your return.
Look for a client portal
A Client portal can matter when you need a place to exchange information with a preparer or service. Check the listing for portal support alongside filing features.
