Intuit
Intuit TurboTax is well suited for most scenarios ranging from simple filing (i.e., single filing, one employer, limited asset, same state as employer) to complicated filing (i.e., married filing jointly, changing employers, different state as employers or WFH, multiple assets such as real estate and cryptocurrencies, entrepreneurship side-gig). TurboTax does not have wide-range offerings and partnerships with crypto exchanges so crypto owners may use a different service to generate the necessary tax forms for TurboTax to digest.

Entrepreneurs and independent contractors who have not formalized their business operations and expense tracking can upgrade their internal efficiencies by launching QuickBooks Solopreneur. As they grow, they can upgrade to higher subscription levels, but this product offers a low-cost option with minimal unnecessary features to get started. If you already have a team, you may want to consider QuickBooks Online. If you are a one-person show, this solution works well.

Not applicable. I am a ProAdvisor and I do not allow my clients (with few exceptions) to work in QuickBooks Online. I am the only person booking transactions, etc.
