Is there a free way to file income taxes online anymore?

[Cadcom]

I have not filled my own taxes for over 25 years. Now my son just got his first W2 and I don't want to use my accountant for this because he will probably charge me more than the kid will get back. Is there a way to just file a simple return online without a $50 software cost?

Freetaxusa?

Yes. Go to the IRS website. Click on file for free. They have software providers approved by the IRS. I have been using them for years to do my taxes and my mothers. It is only free if you access it through the IRS website. Pick the provider that you meet their requirement on. I have used several different ones over the years. The compaines that participate can vary from year to year.

There’s a guy outside the QT on Bankhead Hwy that will file them for free if you just give him your name, social security number, address and W-2s.

Looks like the way to go. Thanks!

Turbo tax is free for simple returns. If you itemize a bunch of stuff it costs

IF you make under X and do simple returns the IRS and several other sites will be free, but state could be extra.

I have used turbotax every year for simple 1040, 1040A , Ez, for years…. It works good. I think its like $20 to actually Efile it or something but its not much if anything.
