FreeTaxUSA is free for federal tax returns, and the $15 charge for state taxes is displayed right on the home page.

In WA it’s free because no state taxes. You can pay money for consulting or for being sent a printed or more expensive binded copy of your return. I’ve used it for 5 years now maybe. So I feel comfortable knowing they have a revenue stream and when I did my due diligence when I started using them a while ago.

I should probably figure out how to get notified if they get acquired or something though.

The real scam is TurboTax charging over $100 for software that has a fixed yearly cost for development and a negligible cost for distribution and is used by millions.

Just wait until you find about digital media distribution.

Well, it's not.

you'd be wrong. I've used it for 3 years in a row with zero issues.
