How to File Taxes for Free 2024 | IRS Free File

It's the beginning of 2024, which means tax season is right around the corner. What I hate even more than paying my taxes, is having to pay to file them. We all want to know how to file taxes for free. The good news is that if you make less than $79,000 AGI (adjusted gross income) then you may be eligible to file completely free with the IRS Free File program. This includes popular tax filing programs like: TaxSlayer, Free Tax USA, TaxAct, and more! Even if the programs offered through the free guided preparation aren't to your liking or if your income is above the threshold, you can still file for free with the IRS Free Fillable Forms and efile from your home!

There are actually 8 tax prep programs partnered with the IRS! While filming the video there was a glitch on the website which resulted in only four showing up, sorry for any confusion.

I used the Direct File with the IRS. It was great. I have 1 W2 and 2 1099INT. Took me 15 minutes (filled it out at work) and paid the 4 dollars I owed from my checking account. 10/10 recommend

Thank you! I filed, however, I ended up paying a small amount to file state taxes. It stated free on the tax software I used but the price was so much better than Turbo or any of those filing websites.

American tax payers should group together and withhold all tax payments until our demands are met:

1: Abolishment of the current reporting systems utilized. All numbers are transparently displayed

2: Employers face Federal prison for not sending appropriate tax documentation via certified mail.

3: A three way digital authentication system between workers, employers, and the IRS.

4: Forgiving payment plans for tax payers to pay their tax burden.

5: Peoples and organizations with incomes greater than $300, 000.00 USD paying larger tax burdens.

Great video ❤ getting an apartment can really stressful especially when w2, getting paystubs and bank statements I had to pay an online vendor for help

[genapruitt]

Thank you! Just filed my taxes electronically with no problem! 😁

Boo.. I thought the IRS actually made a site where you could file with them Directly, not 'redirect you to a 3rd party' program that will charge you and possible sell your data.

The AGI limit is so frustrating. I got married this year, and no longer qualify. Last year, we both qualified individually.

[lunamorris]

It is a great video thanks for the great information and well delivered. This is exactly what I was looking for.

I've filed my taxes every year for free why is it this year that I am being charged??

[nbkg]

Do I add a 1099-b to my agi and were should it be listed under for tax purposes? Do we scan over our tax info or mail it to the Irs?

[Azaus]

I did TaxAct last year and it was free. But now this year suddenly they require me to upgrade to Deluxe and pay $30 just because I have an HSA. (Which I also had last year) I'm so tired of being lied to. :'(

[richhugs]

Thank you, I was able to file it myself!

[The_Wanderer...]

Thanks, this gonna be my first year filing for myself, not gonna lie, had cold feet. Feeling a little bit more comfortable now though.
