There are just a few days left until Tax Day… Have you filed your taxes yet?
If not, the Free File Alliance, a nonprofit coalition of industry-leading tax software companies partnered with the IRS, is reminding taxpayers that you can file your taxes for free at www.IRS.gov/FreeFile.
Free File offers two options to taxpayers depending on income level:
- Taxpayers with a 2014 Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $60,000 or less can access industry-leading tax software to prepare, complete and e-file their federal tax returns for free. Options are available from TaxACT, ezTaxReturn.com, FreeTaxUSA, TurboTax, eSmartTax By Liberty Tax TAX +0.51% Service, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service, H&R Block HRB -0.41%, Tax Simple, FileYourTaxes.com, 1040NOW.NET, TaxSlayer, Online Taxes at OLT.com, Free1040TaxReturn.com, and 1040.com. Specific criteria for filing for free filing software through the FreeFile Alliance is available on the IRS website.
- Taxpayers with an 2014 AGI that exceeds $60,000 can e-file their federal tax returns or an extension using Free File Fillable Forms, a service designed for taxpayers who are familiar with tax law and don’t require assistance in preparing returns. Free File has been updated for 2015 to help Americans navigate tax changes related to the Affordable Care Act. With Free File Fillable Forms, you can prepare and e-file your 1040EZ, 1040A, 1040 or extension for free.
