Thank you for providing us with information through Trustpilot so that we could investigate this further.
Please note, we offer free federal filing for those who qualify for our basic software. There is a fee for our state filing software and also a fee for our deluxe and premium software which is often used with more complicated returns. In your instance, it appears you needed several forms that are not covered by our free basic software; this is why the system moved you to the software required to properly prepare your return. Those forms were the Schedule C, Schedule D and a form 8949.
The business/non-employee income you received last year will make you ineligible for most (if not all) free software options. E-file.com is generally less expensive than other comparable software options.
There is also a fee associated with the state tax return that you elected to prepare, although again, less than what most other comparable tax software providers charge.
As a courtesy, our support team reached out and provide you with a coupon code to cover the cost of your software this year. At this time, it does not appear that you have selected to use this code.
Again, I am very sorry for the confusion you had with this. Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

e-file failures
For two years now, I am very disappointed in e-file. 2024 Tax return rejected once received by the IRS, due to "signature verification failure" and 2025 for "additional required documentation failure" due to my overtime exemption. NEITHER TIME did e-file contact me about problems in either case, and both times, I had to find out from the IRS. I will never use this site again.

I am very sorry for the trouble with this. What you have described here are notices from the IRS after they have already accepted and acknowledged the returns. In 2024 it sounds like the IRS sent you a letter requesting you to verify your identity before your refund could be released. In 2025 it sounds like the IRS sent you a letter requesting documentation relating to the new overtime deduction. The IRS sometimes requests this sort of verification information to help prevent against fraud and/or overpayment. When they do this, they do not include the tax software provider in the communication (no matter where the return is prepared or transmitted). Once the tax return has been filed and acknowledged, no further information is provided to the software provider. It would only be directed to the taxpayer.

I’ve been using e-file for several years
I’ve been using e-file for several years now and never had a problem with them and plan to use them in the future. They are dependable when they say it’s free. It’s free no tricks such as other companies do.

Excellent Customer Service
Where do I began, my federal form was filled out incorrectly by me; not being experienced this happens. So, I received multiple rejections notifications from the IRS. In the many attempts I made to correct an error that was not clearly stated what the error was for I only received error codes that I needed to fix (????%**).So I made a call to IRS, who listened, could not advise or clearly tell me what the problem was, but instructed me to contact e-file, company in which I filed under. Thank God I was able to speak with "Sadiqa" not once, but twice with a call back I had to made. "Sadiqa" reviewed the error messages I was getting, reviewed the sections needed to be corrected and after 8 attempts: finally, the filing process was ACCEPTED by the IRS. Thank you, "Sadiqa" I can move forward with other concerns and life. I should sleep well tonight. "Sadiqa" you are a true plus to the E-File system. Keep up the great work!

E-file made easy
E-file for us was a very positive experience. The prompts were very helpful. We did our taxes in about a couple hours and got them back faster. This was our first time using E-file but we will be using it again and it is free to use. Thank you.
