To qualify, though, you must use IRS Forms 1040EZ or 1040A. This year, for instance, TurboTax's Federal Free Edition is offering it free, guided online tax prep service and e-filing for both federal and state returns, regardless of your income. If your state doesn't offer free e-file, you may find better choices this year outside of Free File. In New York State, for instance, eligible taxpayers must start at the state's free filing web page to be linked to the appropriate software, which then handles both state and federal returns for no cost. You may have to start there first to prepare e-file everything for free. To participate, you must file through a company listed as an "e-file partner" in the Free File section of the IRS website.īefore going to IRS Free File, though, check the website of the taxing authority in your state to see how to qualify for free preparation and filing of your state income tax return. If you want guidance when preparing your federal tax form and your household's 2014 adjusted gross income was $60,000 or less, you can prepare and file your federal return for free on your computer through IRS Free File.
The IRS will begin accepting mailed and e-filed returns on Tuesday, January 20th.
IRS Free File is now officially open, enabling some 70 percent of Americans to begin preparing their federal tax returns online for free.
