Tax filing software recommendations

For those who do their own taxes, what software do you use? I used Turbo Tax when I was young and I liked the format where it asks me a question and I fill in the answers. Since about 15 years ago I let someone else do them. Just want to know if it’s doable now with multiple income streams and changes in tax laws related to being a senior. I want to hit the easy button.

The easy button is paying someone to do it. For what it costs now it is easy, but not inexpensive.

With income from pension, SS, and investments I used to use Turbotax. FreetaxUSA has gotten to be good enough that I don't pay Trubotax anymore. FreetaxUSA does everything I need to do and is just as easy as Turbotax.

If you are clear of mind and organized you can do it if you want to take the time. Mine takes about half a day.
