Through a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tax software companies, such as Turbo Tax, lower income taxpayers are able to file their Federal tax returns at no cost. This partnership is known as the the Free File Alliance.
If you meet one of 3 requirements, you can file your Federal tax return for free. Here is a list of those 3 requirements. Remember, you only have to meet one of these to qualify.
- Have an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $28,500 or less in the year 2006.
- If you qualify for the earned income credit (EIC) for tax year 2006 then you qualify for free Federal tax filing.
- If you served active duty military and earned an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $52,000 or less in 2006 you qualify. Active duty military also includes Reservists and National Guard. You must have a 2006 W-2 form from the military to qualify.
