TurboTax

Digital tax preparer

TurboTax is a software product for preparing and filing U.S. tax returns.

Developed by Intuit, it guides users through tax forms with questions and prompts, calculating deductions and refunds: I use TurboTax every April.

The name has become nearly synonymous with do-it-yourself tax preparation.
