EfileFREEOnline Recommendation

While we have many good things to say about all the efile providers we've reviewed, the one we most highly recommend this year is once again TurboTax. They are the #1 efile provider in the U.S. and provide an outstanding product which guides the novice and experienced taxpayer through the often humbling process of filing income taxes.

A close second to TurboTax is TaxACT which was independently owned until they were purchased this year by H&R Block. Their advantage is that filing your taxes with them is free, without qualification.

H&R Block is also a formidable presence in this space. They are still the #1 tax preparer in the U.S. thanks mainly to their tax storefronts, but they also provide a substabtial online tax package to accommodate even the most complicated tax return.
