In my case, Turbotax did a better job helping me figure out my taxes this year.

I tried freetaxusa but there were a few things that turbotax provided clearer guidance on. There was one particular issue where I was quite stumped with Freetaxusa, but Turbotax explained it.

I believe Turbotax also found one or two things that freetaxusa didn't point me towards. But it was all kind of a haze at this point so I might be misremembering.

I don't want TurboTax to be better, but for me it was better this year. I really hate their lobbying. I'll give try more options next year.
