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.

ExploreWhat it handles
The forms TaxFile reads and how it finds your deductions
Exactly what the software does: the forms it reads, the schedules it prepares, and how it decides which write-offs to put in front of you.
Income forms it reads
Upload a document or type the figures in yourself. TaxFile parses the boxes, classifies the income, and drops it on the right line of your return.
- W-2 wages and withholding
- 1099-NEC and 1099-MISC contractor income
- 1099-K from card and payment-app payouts
- 1099-INT, 1099-DIV and 1099-G
- Receipts and expense records for Schedule C
Schedules it prepares
Your federal return is assembled form by form, with the self-employment schedules that traditional software puts behind a higher tier.
- Form 1040 and the standard or itemized deduction
- Schedule C for business income and expenses
- Schedule SE for self-employment tax
- Schedule 1, 2 and 3 adjustments and credits
- A state return alongside your federal one
How deduction detection works
Nothing is guessed at random. TaxFile matches your situation against the eligibility rules for each deduction and credit, then shows its reasoning.
- Your income type and filing status set what you are eligible for
- Each candidate write-off is tested against its IRS rules
- Anything you qualify for is applied with the dollar amount shown
- A plain-English reason sits next to every figure
- A consistency and audit-risk check runs before you approve
TaxFile is self-prepared tax software, not personalized tax, legal or accounting advice. Which deductions and credits apply depends on your own income, documents and filing status, and no particular refund is guaranteed. For complex situations, consult a CPA or tax professional.
