Tax Preparation

It used to be the case that tax preparation was a nightmare you passed onto other people. However, in these times, electronic filing is becoming the norm. Many people are finding that e-filing is the fastest and most convenient way to get your refund. Therefore, online tax preparation has become the main focus of Tax Prep 101.

This site is an independent guide to electronic tax filing - both software packages and web services (or e-filing websites). We look at the major American and Canadian e-filing services, including TaxAct, TaxBrain and Turbo Tax. We compare advantages and disadvantages of each product. You can open our profile pages in separate windows to compare them.
