About Free File
IRS Free File is a page on IRS.gov that directs taxpayers to partner software for preparing and filing federal tax returns. Eligibility and state-filing terms vary by partner. The page does not prepare returns itself. After a taxpayer selects a partner offer, they leave IRS.gov and use the partner's site.
The homepage says taxpayers with adjusted gross income (AGI) of $89,000 or less should review each partner's offer to confirm they qualify for a free federal return. Some partners include a free state return, while others may charge a fee. A state return is not required to receive a free federal return. Users can narrow the list with a find-a-trusted-partner tool or view the full list of partners.
