Top Ten Best Tax Software Programs

Anyone who has had to struggle through manually preparing their taxes once they get more complicated than the basic 1040 EZ knows what a lifesaver tax software programs can be. Having a guide steer you through the process of preparing your tax returns is so much easier when you don't have to wade through all the IRS jargon. With good tax software programs, all you need to do is have your documentation ready and be able to answer a few questions (did you get married last year?) and you are on your way.

This list contains the top 10 best tax preparation software programs. Don't agree with the list? Place your vote or if you are a logged in, add a new item for others to vote on.
