Pricing shouldn’t be frustrating, complicated or unclear. You shouldn’t have to spend so much time trying to find the best price when you could be using that time to get your taxes done!

We’re changing all that with one, flat-rate price of $25 for everyone. Gone are the confusing pricing tiers and surprising price jumps halfway through. Forget the worries that you missed out on a feature because you opted out of the higher price tag.

Just you, one amazing price, and delightfully simple online tax filing—the way it should be.
