TaxAct offers four tax-filing plans, including a free federal option for basic tax situations.
TaxAct s interface isn t as detailed as some of its higher-end competitors, but it is easy to use.
Pricing is fair, though customers should be careful to account for add-ons such as expert help and state returns.
I m a personal finance nerd who looks forward to filing their taxes every year. In the years I owe, I find myself grateful for the abundance of the past year as I input each number into my tax filing software. In the years where I get a refund, I find myself celebrating every last penny of the extra cash.
