FreeTaxUSA has many of the same features and all the same functionality as TurboTax. Pricing is straight forward and doesn't make you upgrade to finish filing for situations above the most basic. Federal returns are free no matter the situation. State returns are 14.99. Can handle stock trades, mortgage interest, itemized deductions and I'm sure any other form that Turbotax covers. Very robust and can e-file.
