FreeTaxUsa [1] exists and is much cheaper than Turbo Tax.

That being said, this is not free - you are paying for Claude to do this in both tokens and data. I personally think it is insane to hand over your private financial data to an AI company, but I also recognize not everyone has the same concerns.

How is giving the info to an AI company worse than giving it to FreeTaxUSA or Quickbooks/Intuit?
The former businesses don’t run technology stacks that might, inherently by design, regurgitate any given piece of information that they encounter.

They’re also purpose built to do tax/accounting work, and can’t go “off script” with filling in your tax return.
