i just did my taxes last night and checked freetaxusa seems like they charge for state though? I ended up using credit karma's app which was still annoying after intuit bought them and they were forced to sell the tax software to square, and it required I download the mobile app first. It was much better in the past

Yeah, they charge for state, but much less than Turbotax charges for state.

Of course this is a bit of a sore point for me since my state used to have free online tax filing but H&R Block got their rep voted in and killed the program "to save taxpayer money", it cost the state about $40k per year to run and now instead we have one of the highest e-filing costs in the country.

I switched to freetaxusa this year (from TurboTax), and after such a wonderful experience working through my somewhat complicated taxes I was happy to pay them $15 to save me the trouble of typing the information into my state's free-but-lowball-government-contractor website.

They do charge for state taxes. It’s like 15 bucks per return with not that much up sell. I’ve used them when I had simpler taxes and liked them over other common preparers

I help friends and family and I can't recommend freetaxusa for simple returns enough. It's so much cheaper if you're doing your own taxes. Tax slayer is decent as well.

What were the complications that FTUSA could not handle, if you recall?

I previously used CreditKarma for prior years taxes. This year I didn't strictly because the whole thing feels like a push to just get you to install CashApp on your phone. And that is on top of not wanting to use anything Intuit owned anymore. I'll gladly pay $10 to file my state taxes if I can avoid them giving it to Intuit.

CK Tax was sold to Block as a part of the acquisition by Intuit - Intuit sees nothing from it any more.
