I used to use TaxActOnline but this year it was asking for $80 simply because I had a 1099 for a couple months of 2018. I switched to FreeTaxUSA and did everything for free (well for me because I live in TEXAS)... I definitely think the US should have it's own system that individual states can extend however. The so-called "free" ones find any reason they can to swindle you. I used TaxActOnline exclusively for all my taxes for the past 15 years and never paid more than $12 for any given year - so I will never be using them again.
