there's a large number of other providers listed on the IRS's website (ignore the file for free part if you're above the threshold) https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/ https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/ I don't want this to turn into a commercial for any particular provider but let's say I've made 6 figures and paid under $20 to file for multiple years now. How intuit can get away with charging $200 or whatever on the sly and almost nobody knowing about the multiple competitors who run relatively squeaky clean businesses at way more affordable prices should belong as a test-case in every business and marketing book, it's really something. They're actually far easier to use as well since they aren't employing dozens of sneaky tactics and evil design patterns to try to slide you into the "deluxe pro extreme package" or whatever. I would be shocked if intuit didn't constantly a/b test how to trick people - that's kinda their business model in the same way that blockbuster could only stay in business with late fees.
