What customers are saying about
TurboTax Self-Employed

Easy!

"TurboTAX is the recommended method to file taxes here in the USA. I am a freelancer for many companies, and with a pile of 1099 tax forms, I needed someone to do this. Regular tax preppers would charge you hundreds of dollars to send in a form like I have."

Iceywarm -

Easy Peasy

"I have relatively complicated taxes. My wife is self employed, rental property, investments, dependents... but TurboTax makes it easy
as pie."

ChrisETN -
Nashville, TN
Helpful for Independents

"I've been using TurboTax for the past five years and it's really great for freelance artists like me. I end up paying a little over $100, which is a huge difference compared to H&R Block and other tax professionals where I used to spend thousands of dollars for help. I appreciate TurboTax helping out the small, independent freelancers like me."
