TasAct is much more than a simple filing service.  It is an intelligent
guided tax preparation suite that has as an option to file online. As I
understood the OP, this was what he was looking for.

Looked at this.   It is not guided tax preparation.  Just fill in the
forms software and calculate the results..  You still have to know what
forms you need and what you're doing.  Not an easy thing as U.S. tax
code is so convoluted and filled with so many exceptions.
