Why filers switch
Less work, more deductions, fewer mistakes, full control
Most tax tools hand you a long interview and leave you to find your own write-offs. TaxFile does the reading and the math, surfaces what you qualify for, and keeps you in charge of the final return.
Far less work
Upload your W-2s, 1099s and receipts or just chat, and the AI prepares your return. No long questionnaire and no retyping numbers off your forms. TaxFile reads the documents and fills in the return for you.
More deductions found
The AI reads your 1099 and Schedule C details and proactively surfaces the deductions and credits you qualify for, from the home office and mileage to the QBI deduction, so self-employed and 1099 filers are less likely to leave money on the table.
Errors caught before filing
Before anything is e-filed, TaxFile runs an automated error and audit-risk check, flagging missing fields, mismatched figures and common mistakes so you can fix them while it still matters.
You stay in control
TaxFile never files silently. It hands you a review-ready return with plain-English explanations, and nothing is e-filed until you have reviewed and approved every number.
Every capability
One assistant that reads, prepares, checks and e-files
From the documents you upload to the return you approve, TaxFile covers the whole filing, including the parts that trip up self-employed and 1099 filers, with you reviewing and approving before anything is sent.
Document reading
Upload a W-2, 1099-NEC, 1099-K, 1099-MISC or a stack of receipts and TaxFile reads each one into the right place on your return. No manual data entry off your forms, whether they are PDFs, photos or pasted text.
Deduction and credit finder
The AI looks at your situation and proactively surfaces the deductions and credits you qualify for, including Schedule C write-offs, the QBI deduction, education and family credits. It finds what you qualify for, never a guaranteed bigger refund.
Error and audit-risk check
Before you file, TaxFile runs an automated check for missing fields, mismatched numbers and entries that commonly draw scrutiny, and flags them in plain language so you can fix them before the return goes out.
Plain-English explanations
Every figure on your return comes with a clear explanation of where it came from and why, so you understand your taxes instead of staring at form numbers you cannot decode.
Schedule C support
Built for freelancers, contractors and the self-employed, TaxFile reads your 1099 income, organizes your business expenses, prepares Schedule C and figures your self-employment tax, all in the core flow.
Quarterly estimates planner
See what you may owe in quarterly estimated taxes for the year ahead, with Form 1040-ES style estimates and safe-harbor guidance, so a self-employment tax bill never catches you off guard.
Authorized IRS e-file
When you are ready, TaxFile e-files your federal and state return through an authorized IRS e-file provider. You approve the return first, and TaxFile is not affiliated with the IRS.
Bank-level security
Your tax documents and financial information are protected with bank-level 256-bit encryption and data minimization. We collect only what is needed to prepare your return, and we never sell your data.
Federal and state returns
TaxFile prepares your US federal and state income tax return together, carrying your figures across so you are not filling out the same numbers twice.
Reading and preparing
Read every form, prepare the return for you
TaxFile does not hand you a blank form. It reads each document into structured data, places every figure on the right line, and surfaces the deductions and credits you qualify for as it goes.
