It's still excellent. I just did my taxes in FreeTaxUSA this year for the first time and it's not nearly as good as TT last year. FTU is like manually filling in the IRS PDF's except as webforms, whereas TT imports PDF's and parses everything correctly, leaving you to do a quick scan. FTU is free because it's just a light GUI layer over the 1040 and various Schedule forms.

FTU does at least direct you to the correct forms for your situation, tell you what to do with deductions etc.

I've used FTU for the last 2 years and it's all I need, it has all the forms easily searchable and you just next next finish your taxes basically.

There isn't a need for anything else...
