Do it yourself taxes online, with the AI handling the hard part

Doing your own taxes has always meant a trade-off. Filing yourself is far cheaper than a preparer, but the old do-it-yourself software leaves you clicking through dozens of interview screens, decoding form instructions, and quietly worrying you missed a deduction or entered something wrong. You want the savings and control of doing it yourself without feeling like you are working without a net.

TaxFile gives you both. You still do it yourself and you still approve every number, but the AI does the tedious part. Upload your W-2s and 1099s or just chat, and it reads your documents, prepares your federal and state return, and surfaces the deductions and credits you qualify for with a plain reason for each. It runs an error check and flags anything that looks off, then hands you a finished draft to review. Nothing is filed until you approve it and it e-files through an authorized IRS e-file provider. Not tax advice. Review your return before filing. For complex situations, consult a CPA or tax professional.
