Online tax filing that does the heavy lifting and lets you review before filing
Filing taxes online should feel simple, but most years it means wrestling with forms, second-guessing which boxes apply, and worrying that you missed something that costs you money. The questions pile up, the deadline creeps closer, and you end up either overpaying for a preparer or hoping you got it right on your own.
TaxFile reads your W-2s and 1099s, or just chats with you in plain language, then prepares your federal and state return and finds the deductions and credits you qualify for. It runs a full error check, shows you exactly what it filled in and why, and only e-files through an authorized IRS e-file provider after you review and approve every line. Not tax advice. Review your return before filing. For complex situations, consult a CPA or tax professional.

Why it works
What you get with online tax filing
Reads your forms
Upload your W-2s and 1099s and TaxFile pulls the numbers into the right places, so you are not retyping boxes from a paper form by hand.
You approve every line
Nothing is filed silently. TaxFile shows you the full return with plain explanations, and it e-files only after you review and approve it yourself.
Federal and state together
Your federal and state returns are prepared in one flow, so you finish both at once instead of starting over for your state.
What it handles
Prepared, checked and ready to review
TaxFile reads your W-2s, 1099s and receipts, classifies your income, finds the deductions and credits you qualify for, runs an error and audit-risk check, and assembles a return you review and approve before filing.
- Reads W-2s and 1099s and fills your return automatically
- Finds the deductions and credits you qualify for
- Runs an error check before anything is submitted
- E-files through an authorized IRS e-file provider after you approve
- Bank-level encryption, and your data is never sold
Why TaxFile
One place to prepare, check and file your return
Not a 90-screen interview, not an expensive preparer, and not bare DIY forms. Upload or chat, find your deductions, run the error check, and review before filing, all in one place.
Reads your documents
Upload your W-2s, 1099s and receipts or just answer a few questions. TaxFile reads everything, classifies your income, and fills the forms, so you skip the long interview the old software puts you through.
Finds your deductions
Built for 1099 and Schedule C income, TaxFile surfaces the write-offs and credits you qualify for, each with the dollar amount and a plain-English reason, so you claim what is yours.
Checks before you file
An automated error, consistency and audit-risk check runs over your whole return. You review every figure and approve it, and it is e-filed through an authorized IRS e-file provider only when you say so.
