How to File Income Tax Free Electronically

By Business & Finance Last updated Saturday, May/11/2024

1). Determine whether or not you qualify to file your taxes electronically for free. As of 2010, your adjusted gross income must be less than $57,000. Higher income requires you to pay to electronically file your return.
2). Visit the Internal Revenue Service website and click on the link for "Free File" under Filing and Payments. Choose between using a Free File Company that will ask you income tax questions and fill out your form for you, or Free Fillable Form, which you fill out yourself before electronically filing.
3). Enter your tax information onto your Free Fillable Form or answer the tax questions asked by your Free File Company. Use W2s, 1099s, 1098s and other tax statements you received for the tax year to enter the correct information.
4). Review your information and click the "Submit" button to send your taxes to the Internal Revenue Service electronically. Mistakes on your return delay processing and the issuance of any tax refund you are due.
