| Whoever said there is no such
thing as a free lunch may have been right. But
for millions of eligible taxpayers, with an
Adjusted Gross Income of $50,000 or less, there
is Free File. Free File is online tax
preparation and electronic filing through a
partnership agreement between the IRS and the
Free File Alliance, LLC . In other words, you can
e-file... free. |
Need additional time to file your tax
return? Several companies offer free e-filing of Form
4868, Automatic Extension of Time to File. All taxpayers
qualify. No restrictions.
Before Getting Started...
A few points are worth noting. For instance:
 | Free File is a free service
offered by companies for taxpayers with an Adjusted
Gross Income (AGI) of $50,000 or less. |
| Carefully review the free offer
descriptions before starting your return. Individual
company offers may be limited to specific states and
income levels. |
| Each company has a description of
their eligibility criteria for preparing and
e-filing your federal tax return for free.
|
| When choosing a company, be sure
to link to the company's web site through IRS.gov.
By going directly to a company's web site, you may
not get the free service. |
| You are under no obligation to
buy any products or services. |
| Telephone filing (Telefile) is no
longer available. Many taxpayers who used this
telephone service in the past may qualify to use
Free File. |
