What are some fast, convenient, and free options to file for taxes?

You can efile for your taxes online for free, instantly submit your taxes and receive a refund much faster? The IRS has partnered up with 20 tax filing companies to let taxpayers file their taxes for free or for a very low cost to save a lot of time and money when tax filing season comes around.

If your household makes less than $57K, which is the majority of the nation's taxpayers, you can use the Free File program from one of the 20 participating tax companies that have partnered with the IRS. After filing for your taxes, you can file your return electronically and if you are eligible for a refund, get it as fast as 10 days. On the other hand, if you owe, you got until April 15 to send in the payment.

If your household makes more than $58K, then you can still file for your taxes online for a very low cost and still get the convenience, ease, and quickness that online tax filing has to offer.

The free file program is very simple and easy to use. It helps you find a free tax file software based on a short questionnaire that you fill out to help determine which free file tax software you should use.

Below is the list of the 20 free file tax software companies including their free file income cap, their servicing states, and indication of whether they allow for free extension.
