Did you know the IRS is like that friend who keeps reminding you to save your money? Well, today we’re here to talk about IRS Free File<\/a>, a nifty program that’ll help you get those overlooked tax credits and refunds<\/a> you deserve! No more leaving money on the table, folks!<\/p>\n

Let’s break this down into bite-sized pieces, shall we?<\/p>\n

Free File: The IRS’ Gift to You<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 2023 federal tax filing deadline is on Tuesday, April 18. Don’t miss it! Remember, the only way to get your hands on that sweet, sweet refund is to file your taxes.<\/p>\n

The IRS Free File program allows you to file your taxes online and have your refund directly deposited into your bank account. And guess what? It’s all free! It’s like the IRS is saying, “Hey, I got you, buddy!”<\/p>\n

Two Flavors of Free File<\/h2>\n

There are two ways to enjoy IRS Free File:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Guided Tax Preparation<\/a>: If your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is $73,000 or less, you get free online tax prep that walks you through the tax return process. It’s like having a helpful tax buddy holding your hand every step of the way. Just watch out for state tax return fees from some partners.<\/li>\n
  2. Free File Fillable Forms<\/a>: If you’re making more than $73,000, you can use electronic tax forms that are basically the digital version of the paper 1040 form<\/a>. This option is great for those who feel confident doing their taxes solo, with IRS instructions as their trusty sidekick.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Why Bother Filing If I Don’t Have To?<\/h2>\n

    With few exceptions, such as self employment income<\/a>, you might not be required to file a federal tax return if you earn less than $12,950 as a single filer, or $25,900 for married filing jointly. But, my friends, don’t let that stop you! You might be entitled to a refund, like the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)<\/a> or even money withheld from your paycheck.<\/p>\n
