About Navo

Tax filing people can trust, wherever they start.

Navo helps you prepare your tax return and e-file it with the IRS, on our site, through your AI assistant, or inside apps you already use. Filing with Navo is free.

Why we built Navo

Every year, many people pay to file a return they could have filed for free, or put it off because the forms feel impossible. We think filing should be simple, accurate and free.

Navo started from Direct File, the tax software the IRS released as open source, and adds support for more tax situations, state returns and new ways to file. Navo is a private company and isn't affiliated with or endorsed by the IRS.

People are starting to ask AI for help with their money, taxes included. AI is great at explaining and asking questions, but tax math has to be exact. So Navo pairs the two: the conversation can happen anywhere, and Navo's tested tax engine does the math and files the return.

What we believe

Math belongs to a tax engine

AI is good at conversation. Tax math has to be exact, so every number comes from tested tax rules.

Filing shouldn't cost you

Everyone has to file. Every return Navo files is free for the 2027 season.

You see everything before you sign

Plain questions, plain explanations, and the whole return in front of you before it goes to the IRS.

Your information is yours

We use it to file your taxes. We never sell it.
