Free File Alliance
The Free File Alliance is a group of tax preparation companies that have partnered with the Internal Revenue Service to provide free electronic tax filing services to U.S tax payers meeting certain guidelines. The Free File Alliance claims that the program benefits American taxpayers by providing services that would cost the IRS money to provide if online tax filing were administered directly by the IRS. The IRS stipulates filers must have an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $62,000 or less for tax year 2015, but participating companies have their own requirements and restrictions.
Filers with state income tax returns may still pay additional fees of $10 to $30 to electronically file those returns.
In 2007, Alliance members agreed to remove controversial ancillary offerings such as refund anticipation loans from the program.
The free services often limit their software's ability to handle complex tax situations. Some of the Free File Alliance tax sites and their limitations are:
