This year I'm trying https://www.freetaxusa.com/. Literally free if you don't have to pay state income tax, and $15 per state otherwise, even if you have a small business.

It would be great if the government provided their own website/software for tax calculation, but even then I wouldn't mind paying $15 for polished, professionally designed software (vs $100+ for TurboTax in the case of small business+state)

+1, also trying this. I signed up for their basic chat support and it was decent, but clearly the people I was talking to were not experts. They said a "manager" (hopefully more of an expert) would get back to me via email.

Overall I'm very happy though. It's not fancy, but there are no dark patterns and the $15 filing is for real. I can even file previous year updates for free (since they're all federal tax changes). And I'm not supporting Intuit!
