Sorry if asked... Recommended online tax filing site for those with regular w-2 and ebay business
I have used Taxact before so I do like that much of my general info is easily imported, but looking for something different if I can somehow do it free or cheaper. From Taxact website, it looks like the only option if you do online sales would be the "Self-Employed" version which cost $99.99. I'm also a homeowner so I guess I'd be able to do their Deluxe edition but I guess with ebay it will force me to double that price to the most expensive version. Taxact is ok, but honestly not exactly the most intuitive and easiest to understand at all points. Is there a site that offers a better price/ease of use with a version that covers us with a regular job/home/online sales?

Ebay isn't going to force you to do anything. They have nothing to do with how you file your taxes. But it is unlikely that a Deluxe edition will have the forms or programs in it that you need because you have a small business too.
For me personally, we use TurboTax and have for years. It has done a great job for us.

OP2 years agoI looked up CashApp and it looks like they are what was formerly Credit Karma tax filing. Is it free for both federal/state filing ANd for ebay/self-employed filing?
To buyselljack... what free service do you use and is it good for everything I'm talking about?
Any more suggestions from others experiences?

·2 years agoI use TurboTax - easy, flexible, and comprehensive. I’d advise against trying to save $50 by scouring for a cheaper route. Don’t go cheap on taxes, underwear, or chocolate.

Friends, don't let friends drink watery macro-lager.
I use Turbo-Tax home and business - it's pretty easy, and they do a great job of stepping you through everything. $99 at Costco.
ETA: We have W2, social security and a business to reconcile.
