FreeTaxUSA is pretty close. I live in a no tax state so it is completely free. I think state tax is $15.

Hate to sound like a shill, but they've been great. I have a more complicated return than most, but not everyone, and it handles it all(multi-state, capital gains/losses and rollovers, depreciations, etc).

The only thing I wish they'd change is the name. It sounds scammy.

I actually have started agreeing to their probably mostly BS Deluxe/Audit Defense just because I felt guilty about using it for free so long.

Most people have W-2/1099 and some real estate deductions. Not hard to beat that in complexity.

Try AMT, controlled foreign corporations, nested K-1s, and 1040X prior year amendments with $100k-$1 million+ pending refunds.

I feel like you just stated what I said but with more details. Admittedly, it's not for everyone. But it will work for the vast majority of filers.

It's great but they don't handle AMT so I had to use TurboTax this year.
