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.
ChatGPT
TaxAct
TaxAct — A solid conventional tax-prep product with a legitimate free tier for qualifying simple returns and an IRS Free File path for certain taxpayers, but its paid tiers become expensive relative to the stronger options above.
