"With the spring approaching, it's time to start thinking about how you'll file your taxes. Unfortunately, with the recent demise of Direct File, there isn't a free, government-provided alternative to TurboTax in 2026, and you'll need to look to other federal programs, including IRS Free File, to file your paperwork. If you don't qualify for Free File, chances are you'll need to dish out cash for Intuit's software."
"Right now, Amazon has discounted the deluxe desktop edition of TurboTax by 44 percent. That gets you $35 off software that normally costs $80, which you can use to file both your individual state and federal taxes. For most Americans, that should cover their needs, though if you're self-employed, you'll need to pony up for the more expensive Business version of TurboTax, which is currently 42 percent off, or $54 off."

One last thing to note: you'll need a PC with either Windows 11 or macOS Sonoma to run the software, so an older machine won't do, unfortunately."
Direct File has ended, leaving no free, government-provided alternative to TurboTax for 2026. Taxpayers must turn to federal programs like IRS Free File or purchase commercial software if ineligible. Amazon currently discounts TurboTax Deluxe desktop by 44 percent, reducing the price from $80 to $65 and covering individual federal and state filings. Self-employed filers need the Business edition, which is 42 percent off. The desktop software requires a PC running Windows 11 or a Mac with macOS Sonoma. The deal can lower out-of-pocket costs for those who must pay for tax-preparation software.
