Kind of, there are free services and the IRS is working on their free filing website/software. However, the easiest product to use TurboTax is focused on upselling. I believe it's free for basic taxes but the minute you need to add something like contractor income it's $120.
Yeah, they also try to upsell you on having a real person look over your taxes and lobby against any form of free tax software.
I hope they get the ease of use right. Part of the reason I still use TurboTax is because it asks questions and walks me through the process. Even though my tax situation is a little complicated I can figure it out with minimal googling.
