We are proud to be participating in the IRS’ Free File Alliance program. You qualify to file free federal taxes if you meet either of the following conditions:

• Have adjusted gross income (AGI) between $17,100 and $84,000
• Are active military

If you are interested in this program, you can create an account at https://www.1040.com/irsfreefile/home.

If you meet the FFA filing requirements, you will not be charged for filing your federal return on this site.

State returns in the program

If your state participates in FFA, you will not be charged for a state return if you qualify for a free federal return. If your state does not participate in the FFA, you can file your state return for just $9.99. To verify your state’s FFA status, visit https://www.1040.com/irsfreefile/home, and scroll to the Need to file a state return? section.
