AI tax preparation that builds your return and keeps you in control

Tax preparation has always been tedious: gather the forms, decode the questions, transcribe numbers, and hope nothing was missed. AI can take that grind off your plate, but only if it explains its work and never files anything without your say-so. The point is to remove the busywork, not to hand off control of your own return.

TaxFile uses AI to prepare your return from your W-2s and 1099s, reading your forms, filling the right lines, and finding the deductions and credits you qualify for. Every entry comes with a plain explanation, and an error check flags anything that looks off. You review the complete return, and only after you approve does TaxFile e-file through an authorized IRS e-file provider. TaxFile is self-prepared tax software, not personalized tax advice. Review your return before filing, and consult a CPA for complex situations.
