Simple, secure free tax-time tools

Taxpayers in 25 states can now file their federal tax returns directly with the IRS for free. Yes, free.

Check to see if you’re eligible to participate in IRS Direct File.

If your state is participating—check here—you can file your tax return by computer or smartphone and avoid paying a tax prep service.

IRS Direct File is designed for people with simple tax returns (who don’t itemize). Help is available via live chat in English and Spanish.

There’s also free, in-person tax help for qualifying consumers through the IRS's Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) and Tax Counseling for the Elderly (TCE) programs.           

Free tax help at VITA sites is available for:

  • People earning less than $67,000
  • People with disabilities
  • Limited-English-speaking taxpayers

To find a VITA site near you, click here or call 800-906-9887.
