Tax Resources

Tax season is easier to face when you can match the tool to the job, and this collection covers a useful spread of needs. If you’re ready to file, services like TaxAct, TurboTax, 1040.com, and IRS Free File offer guided paths for preparing federal and state returns, with options ranging from no-cost federal filing for eligible taxpayers to paid support for investments, self-employment, business returns, and live expert help. eFile.com is included here as a practical note for past users: its former filing service has closed, and its page now points people toward IRS resources for prior-year return information.

There’s also plenty here for the financial work that happens before and after filing. ProjectionLab helps model long-range plans that include taxes, investments, retirement, and estate outcomes, while TaxBot focuses on year-round mileage, receipt, and deductible-expense tracking for self-employed people and small-business owners. Investors may find Sharesight useful for portfolio, dividend, and tax-related reporting, and broader personal finance sites like Credit Karma, SmartAsset, and Debt.org bring tax resources into the context of credit, debt, loans, retirement, and planning. For people who want to understand the policy side, Tax Foundation offers research, commentary, data tools, tax maps, calculators, and explainers for following tax debates and reforms.
