IRS Free File Program
The IRS Free File Program is a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and various tax software companies that allows eligible taxpayers to prepare and file their federal income tax returns online at no cost.
Eligible taxpayers typically include individuals with an adjusted gross income (AGI) below a certain threshold, which is set annually. The program provides access to free tax preparation software, guiding users through the filing process, and enabling them to claim tax credits and deductions accurately.
The IRS Free File Program offers a range of software options, and some providers may also offer free state tax return filing. Taxpayers can access the program through the IRS website, where they can find participating partners and check their eligibility criteria.
