Filing my taxes through Chime was incredibly easy! I liked it 10x better than Turbo Tax and I wasn’t charged to file my taxes! And nothing beat that!

I noticed the offer to do my taxes for free through Chime. Yep, I was skeptical. I filled out the forms for federal & state and it truly was just that....FREE.
