If you haven't sent in your tax return yet and you are thinking of filing your return electronically, you probably already know that there are many firms and most tax software packages that make it easy to file your tax return electronically. However, most of these services will charge you to e-file. For example, TurboTax charges $16.95 to e-file your return. However, you may be able to electronically file your Federal return for free. There may still be a charge for e-filing state taxes.
The Free File program is a free federal tax preparation and electronic filing program for eligible taxpayers developed through a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Free File Alliance LLC, a group of private sector tax software companies (many of whom don't make it readily apparent that you can file for free). Free File allows taxpayers with an Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) of $52,000 or less in 2006 to e-file their federal tax returns for free. Nearly 70 percent of all US taxpayers qualify for free filing.
Visit the Free File secton on IRS.gov to see if you qualify and to get started.
Important: Only access the Free Filers from the IRS website. There have been reports of phishing related to phony Free Filers.
