Save up to 80%: Percentage savings are based on filing with all forms (Classic product) as compared to pricing and features of similar or reasonably comparable online tax products offered by TurboTax®, H&R Block®, and/or TaxAct® websites throughout the 2023 tax season. TaxSlayer is not affiliated with any of these companies.

We recommend you perform your own rate checks and seek financial advice when deciding what is the best product for your own personal circumstances. This percentage may also vary based on applicable coupons, discounts, promotions, and price testing variations throughout the season (some consumers may achieve savings higher or lower than 80%).
