I have pretty simple, straightforward finances. I don't need any pro features.

Does anyone have any shoutouts for their preferred tax preparation software?

IRS Free File.

Free fillable form from the IRS. I refuse to participate in the racket that is tax software.

I've always used FreeTax USA with good results. But I'll be trying IRS direct file this year now that it's available

2nd for freetaxusa. I've been using it for years now.

(Wealth)Simpletax here in Canada.

Wealthsimple buying it gave me feelings, but they haven’t fucked up…. Yet.

Whoa whoa whoa, is Canada's tax filing that stupid? I thought we were the only ones who had a shit system

Yeah, from what I understand US tax software companies lobby to keep the tax code complex. I wonder if Canada sees the same pressure.
