The paid version of TaxSlayer is the cheapest one among all tax software, which only needs $17.
The free version is also good to use. It has good user interface and it’s easy to use if you want to file a simple return.
However, the deduction is useless if you only file a 1040 EZ.
The FreeTaxUSA Free Edition allows you to file most forms of your taxed.
You can import your data not only from last year, but also years prior to the next year, which makes things easier and help you file quickly.
