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 just switched last year and it worked great. I had like 4 other family members file as well through them without issue.
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.
A 1099 is what you receive from the company that you perform independent contractor services on behalf of in order to report your taxes to the IRS on your 1040 and Schedule C
I think if you have to file state taxes there is sometimes a small fee, but it's incredibly minimal. For federal taxes it is 100% completely and totally free and I use it each year.
Something people don't tell you is you can file federal and state taxes at completely different places (they're 100% separate anyway so it really doesn't matter). I did this one year using freetaxusa for federal, and some other tax software that did state for free but charged for federal.
This next year though I'm hiring a CPA because my shit has become complicated.
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.
