If you're going to do this, you should also use well-respected tax filing software for free to create your return. They usually only charge you to file it. Prepare it in their system, see if you get different results then Claude, figure out the discrepancy.

I use Free File Fillable Forms to prepare my taxes. It can be a bit tricky to make sure all the correct forms are completed and the calculations are correct, so that is the exact approach I take. It's a pain in the butt to essentially do my taxes twice, but I'm willing to go through that if it means I'm not giving money to the tax prep industry.
