According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, about 70% of all US taxpayers are eligible for free federal income-tax-preparation and electronic-filing software through a program known as Free File. From the article:
Grappling with confusing tax forms and instructions may seem like the textbook definition of cruel and unusual punishment.
But there are a few ways for most taxpayers to make the task less burdensome. For example, about 70% of all taxpayers are eligible for free federal income-tax-preparation and electronic-filing software through a program known as “Free File.”
[...] Free File (IRS.gov/FreeFile) is a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service and a group of 14 tax-software companies, known as the Free File Alliance. The companies are offering products at no charge. But they aren’t available to everyone.
“If you earned $60,000 or less last year, you are eligible to choose from among 14 software products,” the IRS says.
Have you used this program before? What has your experience been? Would you recommend it to your fellow Solylentils?
