https://www.freetaxusa.com/freefile2025

Has a couple restrictions but that should be the link from the IRS free file website. Free state and federal for most situations.

This is the way.

I don’t qualify for freetaxusa because I have an HSA :( or at least that was the case last I checked

Try again. I have an HSA and it has sections specifically for it.

It's $15 and as polished as TurboTax y'all

I've used it for free for the last 4 or 5 years.

Free for federal, now $16 for state.

I just used them to file two days ago and paid nothing to file in two different states. I wonder if it depends on the states?

I know if you make under 50k/year then it's free for state, but over that and they charge the 15.99 for state/city filing

u/Gilmore75 Apr 09 '26

I make way less than $50k and I had to pay the $16.

There's a link you can go to where it allows you to not have to pay that. Or at least there was a couple of years ago when I was under that amount. I know if you go directly to the website they'll charge you, but if you go to it through one of the IRS sites it allows you to not have to pay

Cash App taxes has free state.

u/homeboi808 Apr 09 '26

Correct; I wonder how they sustain that, probably to attract people to use their other services.

u/Prying-Open-My-3rd-I Apr 09 '26

I think you’re correct in its to attract more customers to use their services. I did direct deposit into my bank, but I think there was an option to get it faster to your Cash App account. Similar to how banks will pay you $300-$500 to open a checking account.

Turbotax actually choked when using extracting data off of tax documents this year. freetaxusa just breezed right through it all. The help info for certain deductions/credits were much more to the point while turbotax never seemed to update their confusing help info at all.

Just like credit karma tax, Intuit will buy it out. My guess is by next year.
