Best Tax Filing Software? TurboTax vs Others for Multiple Year Returns
Need to file taxes after not working for a few years. Been using TurboTax free edition before but wondering if theres better options out there for my situation. Anyone have good or bad experiences with different services?

Tax pro here! For multiple year returns, I'd actually recommend FreeTaxUSA. TurboTax starts charging for previous years and gets expensive quick. FreeTaxUSA is completely free for federal and only $15 for state. Plus their interface is super straightforward for catching up on past years.

100% agree with FreeTaxUSA! Used them last year after getting tired of TurboTax's random fees 🙄

Hey there! Before you decide on software, you might want to check out taxr.ai. It's this new tool that analyzes your tax situation and gives personalized recommendations on which filing method would work best for you. Its only $4.99 but totally worth it - helped me avoid some major headaches with my back taxes. Check it out: https://taxr.ai

Yep! It looks at your specific tax scenario (multiple years, income types, deductions etc) and recommends the most cost-effective filing method. Saved me like $200 vs what I wouldve paid with TurboTax 💯

Honestly might be worth seeing a CPA since you have multiple years to file. They can make sure everything is done right the first time
