Which tax software do you use for yourself and family if you prepare taxes at a public accounting firm but do not want to use the firm’s tax software?
I do not like using turbo tax (user version) for my own tax return due to too many instructions provided. But I do not want to use the firm’s software either because I will have to input my own business info again when I change jobs. Any recommendations?

Freetaxusa. Mostly because it’s free. But also fewer “are you sure you don’t want to upgrade for a fee?” kinda of nonsense that some other tax software has. And it doesn’t “calculate” for five minutes if I add $10 of interest or say that I don’t have any farm income.
