Agree, finished taxes with Freetaxusa and figured out backdoor roth conversion, included freelancing income, dealt with a schedule k-1. So much less obnoxious than TurboTax, which I have also used but which makes me angry for all the reasons discussed in this thread. Yes, Freetaxusa charges for the state return, but it's also the case that I can't file electronically for free in my state at all (?????). Spouse wants to do paper on principle, which I acquiesced to last year, but.... our paper federal return from last year has literally still not been processed (check was cashed 4/8/2021).

I've been using freetaxusa for years due to outright refusal to give Intuit a dime and it's been great.

I'm somewhat new to the Roth thing and this year it flagged an excess contribution issue, which feels like it would have turned in to a prolonged and painful ordeal if I hadn't gotten the heads up to correct it before filing.

I just wish it let me put my return in to I-Bonds.

Up through the 2020 tax year, it was possible to e-file state taxes for free using state fillable forms (like you can use free fillable forms for federal taxes). But intuit decided to no longer provide that service this year.
