Why TaxFile
Online tax preparation that does the paperwork for you
The old tax software makes you click through a 90-screen interview, then charges a premium for the self-employed tiers. TaxFile reads your documents, finds what you can claim, checks the math, and hands you a review-ready return.
Less work, not a 90-screen maze
Upload your W-2s and 1099s or just answer a few questions. TaxFile reads them, classifies your income, and fills the forms, so you skip the long interview the old tax software puts you through.
Find more deductions
Built for 1099 and Schedule C income, TaxFile proactively surfaces the write-offs and credits you qualify for, from the home office to mileage to QBI, so you claim what is yours instead of leaving it on the table.
Catch errors before you file
An automated consistency and audit-risk check runs over your whole return and flags anything that looks off, in plain English, before anything is submitted.
You stay in control
Every number is explained, you review and approve your return, and it is e-filed through an authorized IRS e-file provider only when you say so. Nothing is ever filed silently.
TaxFile is self-prepared tax software, not personalized tax advice. You review and approve your return before filing. For complex situations, consult a CPA.

Less stress, more deductions, filed with confidence
I always dreaded my 1099 taxes and assumed I was overpaying. TaxFile read my forms, found $3,200 in deductions I did not know I could claim, and walked me through every line. I reviewed it, understood it, and filed in an evening.
The mileage and phone deductions alone changed my refund. It asked me a couple of questions, pulled it all together, and ran an error check before I filed. No 90-screen interview, no guessing whether I missed something.
Schedule C used to mean a whole weekend. TaxFile handled the home office, supplies and QBI, explained each figure in plain English, and I approved it. I felt in control the entire time instead of hoping the software got it right.
Results vary by your income, documents and the deductions you qualify for. TaxFile does not guarantee any particular refund.
