How to use this calculator
Enter federal filing price, state return count and price, live-help upgrades, audit-support add-ons and refund-payment fees. The result estimates the total software cost before you compare TurboTax, H&R Block, FreeTaxUSA, TaxAct, TaxSlayer, OLT, Cash App Taxes and similar options.
How to avoid mistakes
Check whether your return qualifies for a free tier, whether state filing is included, whether live help is bundled, whether you pay extra to deduct fees from a refund and whether forms for investments, self-employment, rental property or crypto trigger a higher tier.
