Any recommended software for doing the tax return?(inc 3520)

Post by ChromiumDioxide »

Hello

Does anybody have any recommendations for a software package that is good for using to fill in the tax forms?

In particular I'm wondering if there is a program that includes the ability to fill in the 3520/A + fincen 114 forms in addition to the regular 1040 etc. forms?

FinCEN (which is not a form by the way, it's online at the govt website, is handled by all software. You use the printout to do your online submission.

3520 is a manual prosess in any event, so there is no point having software do it. YOU have to provide the entry for each line manually. You might as well just use the fillable 3520 form IRS.gov
