One of the big points in the article, and the complaint against TurboTax, is that they're positioning their product as "free", when it isn't.

And here is this subthread, recommending "FreeTaxUSA" … for $13.50+state.

It might be cheaper, better quality, or better quality/price … perhaps. But is this not exactly the same thing? (Perhaps with less advertising, e.g., not running a commercial to millions of people repeating "free" a gajillion times.)




No, it is free for federal filing.

13.50 is for state filing.


Federal is free. State is an upcharge, but they don't force it.
