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.

You stay in control
Doing it yourself means the return is yours. TaxFile prepares it and explains each entry, but nothing is filed until you review and approve every figure yourself.
