How to file taxes with TurboTax for freeĮven though TurboTax has left the IRS Free File project, it does still have no-cost options. It's worth noting that TurboTax came under fire a few years ago for using code that hid its Free File page from Google results, as reported by ProPublica.
"Moving forward, Intuit is committed to continuing to offer free tax preparation while accelerating innovation to address all of consumers’ financial problems," it added. TurboTax said it processed 17 million free tax filings last season of that, only 3 million came through the Free File program.
However, the company vowed not to give up on free tax filing options. TurboTax announced in a blog post last July that it was not renewing its role with IRS Free File due to its limitations and "conflicting demands from those outside the program" that leave it unable to continue participating while still delivering "all of the benefits that can help consumers make more money, save more, and invest for the future."
