[–] natedog526@lemmy.world 25 points 2 years ago (1 child) I utilize freetaxusa.com. They are affordable, and they did just as good a job as TurboTax ever did. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jefff@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children) Me too! Unfortunately I believe they were bought by Intuit a while back, so I fully expect them to start sucking or disappear soon Edit: Okay I think I was operating on faulty information/memory, or just bullshit.

Could you provide a source? I would be very disappointed if true, but I don't see anything that points to that being true. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] jefff@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Oh heck, you know what I just looked it up and I think I'm completely wrong. I don't know where I heard that or why it stuck. They're owned by taxhawk which appears to still be independent. I'll amend my original comment permalink fedilink source parent [–] vanontom@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) You should be more careful spreading misinformation like this. (You may as well say they give you cancer and eat your baby.) FreeTaxUSA is still owned by TaxHawk, and absolutely not any part of Intuit (in fact it's a direct competitor that is doing great work to kill them). Intuit has managed to buy Credit Karma though, maybe others. permalink fedilink source parent
