Relative of an employee of freetaxusa.com (TaxHawk).
My relative is one of the people working on Free File. If you have any issues, don't hesitate to contact me [1]. Free File is something they are deadly serious about because they know Intuit, TurboTax, et al are scummy, and well, it brings in business.
But Free File can be complicated (my relative complains about it a lot), so there may be issues. Please let me know.

- linsomniac 4y agoUsed it last year and liked it, planning to use it this year. Question: How does FreeTaxUSA make money to support this?
- gavinhoward 4y agoGood question. There are two answers: state filing (which sometimes costs) and add-ons such as their "Deluxe" offering. They make money by being much smaller than TurboTax and the others. Less people means less money spent. They do this by optimizing for the easy 80% use case and letting TurboTax et al take the hard 20%.
- linsomniac 4y agoGood to know, I think I ended up paying for both of those offerings last year to support it. I think TurboTax that I had used previously was a little smoother, but I hate their shenanigans with preventing IRS free options, etc. But, it went fairly smoothly.
- londgine 4y agoDoes freetaxusa support expats? I've been using a CPA since I couldn't find a website that was better. All of the websites offering to file, charge around $500.
- gavinhoward 4y agoMy relative says that TaxHawk does not support expats. Sorry about that.
