What the models actually said.
The ranking is the answer; these are the words behind it. Every quote is from a recorded model answer — follow the category to read it whole.
Cash App Taxes
Cash App Taxes — Best zero-cost alternative if it supports every form and state you need, since it advertises $0 federal and state filing regardless of tax situation; I rank it below FreeTaxUSA because its coverage and support model can be less forgiving for edge cases.

H&R Block
H&R Block Online or Desktop — Best paid choice if you value a polished experience plus an easy path to real human help, review services, or an in-person office when your return gets complicated.
