IRS & MA Offers FREE Online Tax Filing
Information from the IRS -
IRS Free File lets taxpayers who earned less than $64,000 prepare and e-file a return for free. Go to IRS.gov and click on the ‘Filing’ tab for options on using commercial tax software.
Those who earned more than $64,000 are still eligible for Free File Fillable Forms, the electronic version of IRS paper forms.
This more basic Free File option is best for people who are comfortable preparing their own tax returns.
