    Use freetaxusa. It’s actually free. I haven’t used it as an independent contractor, but it has worked well for my complicated finances.

      I did it with independent contractor stuff along with my normal job. Site supported both. I think the independent contractor form was like 1090 or 1099 or something? Can’t fully remember.

      Second this. It is free for federal, and iirc $15 for state. Also, you can upload submissions from Turbotax if you used them before so many fields will be pre-filled out. I actually preferred the freetaxusa experience to turbotax having used both.
