TurboTax

TurboTax is software made by Intuit to make filing taxes easier. Created in 1984, TurboTax has risen in popularity over time. The rise of programs such as TurboTax can be blamed on the difficulty of the Free File program offered by the U.S. Government.

Controversy

TurboTax had bad press coverage when it was accused of hiding the free version of the software.^[1]^[2]
