I use hr block but I run my own calc in excel and just use hr block to e-file and check my math. It’s been fine for the past decade I’ve used it.
I use hr block since cheaper than turbo tax but I have to pay for upgrade since the SO is self employed so not using feee version. InTX so no state issues for me either
Taxslayer is a good price point if you've got transactions (equity, investments) that preclude you from most free options and don't want the pain of no automated forms. All forms at one price, automated, but not paying for hand holding of turbotax.
does levels.fyi typically show the initial stock grant if you come in as an experienced hire at that level? or does it include all people at that level? is it pro rated based on vesting? thanks 🙏
Freetaxusa.com is great
I second freetaxusa.com. The price to file is considerably cheaper than turbo tax too.
I use credit karma. Fed and State filings are both free.
I don’t think they support multiple states, but it’s great for people who file fed and 1 state!

TaxAct is one of the more reasonably priced softwares.
IRS fillable forms are great. It lets you populate every form and schedule and then e-File directly through the IRS website.
Also what you could do is calculate your return with TurboTax to confirm your tax refund/balance due was mechanically correct prior to submitting
You can use the firm’s software.

Do you use an excel template?
I still print my Turbo Tax prepared returns and review by hand. Think of it as KGS. You’re doing the return but helps to have data entry.
