Free File Alliance

Free File Alliance is a nonprofit coalition of industry-leading tax software companies. The job it does: building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

It makes the most sense for companies with a specific process to automate. They are a very small team, 1 to 10 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Free File Alliance is based in Clifton Forge, Virginia. More on freefilealliance.org.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Free File Alliance, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
