TaxSlayer Tax Software Review (IRS Free File Version)

Recommendation - if you want to file completely for free and have no surprises like being upgraded, use the FreeFileUSA instead: https://youtu.be/GfxBN_l5KLE
If your situation may be more complicated and don’t mind paying for your tax software this software is user-friendly, accurate, checks for errors, and is easy to use.

As a Free File version - don’t recommend it because the software does upgrade taxpayers and doesn’t provide a clear explanation as why. You can’t easily remove what you need to be downgraded. Also, there were A LOT OF products sold to taxpayers.

As a Paid version - it is good software, user-friendly, clean, modern, and accurate. However, watch out for all the products you are being sold. You have to read what you are being actually sold, who would it cover, and for how long.
