This year’s tax season runs until April 18, but you don’t want to wait until the deadline to file your return — you’d just be delaying that sweet deposit into your account.

But there are so many tax software options, with a range of paid and unpaid options, that it’s hard to know which one is actually right for you.
This year, finances are especially tight for most Americans, and you want to save every dollar you can. Instead of shelling out for an overwhelmed accountant or expensive online programs, why not use a platform you’ve already got installed on your phone?
Cash App offers fast and easy tax filing, and unlike other software that boasts higher returns than filing solo, their max return guarantee doesn’t come with a price tag — it’s totally free.
File your federal and state taxes for free
Cash App Taxes promises speed, accuracy and a maximum refund guarantee. There are no paid add-ons or premium levels you need to upgrade to if you’ve sold stocks or bitcoin. It truly is fast, easy and free.
You can file in minutes on your computer or through the app. It’ll even autofill your information from a photo of your W-2 for maximum convenience.
There’s no need to worry about security either: Cash App meets or exceeds all IRS standards and is an authorized IRS e-file provider.
With 9 million returns filed so far and a 5-star rating from Forbes Advisor, there’s no reason to shell out cash for another tax product.
