Here's how Ramsey SmartTax can be less than half the price of the other guys: Let’s say you have investments or self-employed income/expenses to claim and you want to file your federal tax return online. These types of filings are included with Ramsey SmartTax Federal Classic—while you’d need the Premium version of TurboTax® for those filings. If you crunch the numbers using the current list prices for those two products as of March 31, 2025, you’ll get the estimated savings. We do our best to stay on top of the current list prices, features and savings, but there’s always a chance details may not be exact as of today’s date. We recommend you do your own research to choose the best product for your situation. Ramsey isn’t affiliated with TurboTax.

“I have used [another tax software] for years, and I was almost finished with filing and I saw that they had an additional $40 in a hidden fee at the end . . . I switched [to Ramsey SmartTax] and it was so easy . . . I’m grateful for this product and that I didn’t have to click through 10+ advertisements to get through the filing process!”
