EVERYONE is Eligible to Free File!

Did you know that anyone can file their tax returns for free?  Why pay a company or individual when you can do it for free?  Your options for free filing will be based on your income.

Low to moderate income people (generally under $49,000), seniors over age 60 and military personnel are eligible to take advantage of the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) sites or Tax Counseling for the Elderly.  Find a VITA site near you by using this IRS site list.

Those filers with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $58,000 or less can utilize one of many free online filing methods.  Here is an EXTENSIVE list of free file sites and help finding a company if you need it.

Of course anyone can use the IRS' Free File system and e-file your return.

How will you prepare your own household taxes this year?
