Your Top Tax Questions, Answered Directly
No fluff. No legal jargon. Just clear answers to the questions Americans ask most about taxes.
Which tax software is actually the best value?
FreeTaxUSA is the best value for most Americans with straightforward returns – it is free for federal filing and charges only $14.99 for state. TurboTax and H&R Block offer more hand-holding and are worth the cost for complex situations involving investments, rental income, or business ownership. Our full comparison breaks down every major option by situation type.
What happens if I can’t pay my tax bill by the deadline?
File your return even if you cannot pay in full. The IRS penalty for not filing is ten times worse than the penalty for not paying. Once filed, you can request a payment plan (installment agreement) online at IRS.gov, apply for Currently Not Collectible status, or explore an Offer in Compromise if your situation qualifies. Acting immediately reduces penalties significantly.
How much can a self-employed person deduct?
Self-employed taxpayers can deduct the full cost of a qualified home office, 100 percent of health insurance premiums, half of self-employment tax, retirement contributions up to $69,000 annually (2024), business use of vehicle, equipment and software, and professional development. Proper documentation is critical. Our self-employment deduction guide walks through every eligible category with real dollar examples.
