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

[@llawster3108]

i wanted to learn how to file my taxes myself this year & your video is super informative. thanks for the details, planning on referencing your vid while on the website!

[@LOSIANO99999998]

Thanks my guy, This was actually LEGIT and GOT ME MY MONEY.... SUBSCRIBED

[@sirbreeze3369]

Great video, straight, informative and right to the point! Thanks

[@adamstl3148]

Thanks for this video. This will be the first year I've ever filed ony own so this helped answer a few questions I had lingering in the back of my head.

[@APennyPinchersGuide]

So glad we were able to help!

[@lunamorris2091]

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

[@richhugs8800]

Thank you, I was able to file it myself!

[@Lahti181]

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.

[@abdulhaseebshah9109]

Did you get the confirmation letter at the end?

[@keniasiqueira44]

Nice! Thanks ❤

[@maheder6327]

It was very helpful thanks so much 🎉❤

[@APennyPinchersGuide]

You're so welcome!

[@marconen.2412]

Thanks for the video. If you have 2 W2, how do you file? (separate or combined)?

[@Johnnydoggs3]

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

[@Jazzmin554]

Who ? I need more info pls

[@nbkg487]

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?

[@genapruitt]

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

[@lauranatalybelalcazar7294]

after that how did you pay your taxes? I mean you just submitted the form? or in the same webside we are available to pay the taxes?

[@genapruitt]

@@lauranatalybelalcazar7294 You go to the IRS site, and you get a choice of tools, and I chose the Free Tax USA tool. I ended up getting a refund for federal and state. Everything was done online for free. 😁

[@rrezartagashi549]

Hi, How about if I lived and worked in two different states for the year ?

[@PHYLLISBLACKWEL]

[@markopolo897]

I need to do A 1041. iS THERE ANY WAY?

[@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.

[@khonculitz]

how's your experience

[@rosedenobile2839]

is this option allowed/available for LLCs that have to file a 1065?

[@shabanabibi8942]

I have an LLC in Texas registered in 2023. I have no business till date Do i need to file federal tax?

[@tenminute.]

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

[@APennyPinchersGuide]

I’d recommend trying out FreeTaxUSA, since you can file for free with no limit through them

[@angelineemi7274]

Can I still file 2022 on irs website

[@juliennelebrun644]

Im a non resident is there a free efile for me?

[@sammiepyo4442]

Hi Brad, I'm trying to file a joint tax return and following your steps here but I'm stuck on the first page under "For a free state tax return, select your state", it seemed like there no option for Florida. We've recently moved from Georgia now we live in Florida. Should we select Georgia? My first time filing online please give me some advice. Thx❤

[@Florydczyk]

There is no state tax in Florida. Just federal.

[@sammiepyo4442]

@@Florydczyk hi Brad thanks for responding. Yes, I’ll file Georgia state tax and Florida federal tax for him. Really appreciate your video.

[@marshareegdawkins6470]

If u have multiple W2 how do u calculate the AGI?

[@michaelfishman3254]

I think you just put all your W2 info in. They allow you to input multiple W2's. Once you are done with all your income and deductions, it should calculate your AGI and other values

[@alstoesseljr20]

Me and my partner each received a 1099 NEC form for our partnership which totaled 17,000 do we both claim 17000 or do we cut that in half when filing our taxes seperate

[@APennyPinchersGuide]

Since it sounds like you split expenses and revenue 50/50 then you would cut that amount in half when filing your individual taxes

[@robertmclean6629]

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.

[@wealthiest7325]

Please can you teach me how to file my tax return

[@williamuata9694]

Honestly, we really should boycott the tax system. It's so dumb.

[@Azaus26]

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. :'(

[@polyesterbebe]

same

[@valdemar7337]

i just got my W-2 form in the mail from my employer, and its all filled out.. what do I need to do from here?

[@therockinboxer]

choose a website to file taxes. sign up. upload your W-2 and let the website do the rest. it will usually cost at least $30 for your state filing. remember, youre doing state and federal taxes at once

[@spatialtrader]

@@therockinboxerwdym at once? So I have to file separately?

[@lyianx]

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.

[@rubylimey7614]

That's what I thought too. I think it depends on your income amount

[@noalerf9040]

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

[@wealthiest7325]

Please can you teach my how to file my file return

[@kamaal50762]

wich software companies were you using?

[@sarainevarez5975]

Do you have to file taxes if you're younger than 18?

[@APennyPinchersGuide]

It will depend on how much money you made, but the general rule is yes. Look at the Form 1040 General Instructions to see exactly if you need to file or not

[@junejunejuniejune]

When you make income, you file. i had a job at 16 and filed. you'll get money back, so its worth doing!

[@BeccaSupreme9197]

Hello, my parents filed their married jointly taxes, and they owe a balance to the IRS. They were told they could see and pay the balance online. Since they filed married joint taxes as they have been for years, do they both have to make separate online IRS accounts from each other to see the balance they owe the IRS, or do they just have to create one online IRS account since they filed married joint taxes?

[@APennyPinchersGuide]

They should only need one account to pay since the balance owed is for both of them

[@donovian2538]

Man, that website doesn't work. Smells fishy of them.

[@jillk1887]

It is not free for us poor people with kids, because I cannot find a free file that does the child tax credit. Can you?

[@APennyPinchersGuide]

FreeTaxUSA is free to file regardless of your situation, CreditKarma was free last year but since Intuit bought it I’m not sure if that changed

[@CookiesAnd40s]

I made 17k and they only took $400 off federal and they also messed up my 2022 taxes and got no federal and im only getting $38 back what should I do? I haven't got my taxes for 2 years they even said they fixed it last year
