About TurboTax
Intuit's tax filing software, with a free edition for simple returns, paid tiers, AI help inside the product and options to add a tax expert.
TurboTax is Intuit's tax preparation software for US federal and state returns. It walks you through questions in plain language and fills in the forms from your answers, and it can import documents such as W-2s and some brokerage forms.
A free edition covers simple returns, and paid tiers handle more forms, such as self-employment income or rental property. Intuit has added an AI assistant inside the product to answer questions while you file, and you can pay to have a tax expert review or prepare the return. Whether the free edition fits depends on your forms, so check before you start. Read each upgrade prompt carefully, and compare with the IRS Free File program if your income qualifies. Tiers and what each covers change every filing season, so check the current edition.
