TurboTax

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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.
