Yes, the IRS provides online options to help you file your 2021 tax return for free. You have two main options:
- IRS Free File Online Tax Preparation: This option allows you to prepare and file your federal income tax return online for free using online tax preparation and filing options on IRS partner sites. To be eligible for this service, your adjusted gross income (AGI) must be $73,000 or less in 2021.
- IRS Free File Fillable Forms: This option provides electronic federal tax forms that you can fill out and file online for free. There is no income requirement for this service, but you need to know how to prepare your own tax return or be able to follow the instructions to the Form 1040.
These options are available on IRS.gov, and you can choose the one that best fits your needs.
