No way would I ever trust open source tax software not to mess things up somehow. The paid software has a big incentive to get it right.

Open source can be paid.

No it can’t.

Keka[1] and Textual[2] are both open-source and you can pay for them on the Mac App Store or direct purchase. The former gives you compiled builds either way; the latter only if you pay.
