CalFile is a free 20-minute tax preparation program initiated by the California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) to file state tax returns online directly to the Franchise Tax Board.

"'Another legislative session, another well-funded campaign waged by Intuit Corp. to abolish California’s free, innovative and wildly popular electronic tax filing programs, ReadyReturn and CalFile. These two programs provide California taxpayers with a reliable, voluntary, safe and free way to calculate and file their taxes.' —Dennis J. Ventry, Jr., professor at UC Davis School of Law, specializing in tax policy and legal ethics, 21 July 2010"

...the success of TurboTax rests on a shaky foundation, one that could collapse overnight if the U.S. government did what most wealthy countries did long ago and made tax filing simple and free for most citizens.

ReadyReturn features are now part of CalFile.
