Protip: just fill out the paperwork! It walks you through it and takes no more time than making a pathfinder character. Tbh the whole act of doing it reminds me of making a ttrpg character: you get a template sheet and a booklet that walks you through it.
if the free ones would automatically populate for free I would totally use them just to not do the data input. But since they are all bs and don’t actually do it for free I do the free fillable forms. Real pro tip is use a spreadsheet to add things up for wierd forms that don’t do stuff for you. I put my 1099’s in a spreadsheet and copied and pasted from it and it just made the whole thing easier to look over and verify. will do the same anytime I have multiples of the same form and then also for things like ira nonfillable pdf.

Yes, but all you have to do is follow the guide? It literally took 15 min to do my taxes this year.

Damn the TurboTax propaganda goes strong here.

Well the first step is removing Big Tax Collectors from the equation, which was my goal with the original post.
