Today, Assemblywoman Claudia Tenney (R,C,I-New Hartford) announced that those who made less than $57,000 last year can file federal taxes for free through the IRS Free File Program.
“Tax season can be stressful for many people. I encourage those eligible to consider using the IRS free file program to make submitting their federal taxes easier and free,” said Tenney.
“We suffer under excessive taxes in New York State. I hope that those eligible for this free service take the time to get their federal taxes submitted so they can get back a portion of their hard-earned money. It’s a step in the right direction when the government wants to help people who live from paycheck to paycheck. These are the people who feel the pressure of taxes and inflation the most, and it is good to know we will help them file their federal taxes free of charge,” said Tenney.
To begin, taxpayers should visit the IRS website - www.IRS.gov/freefile. Users will find a list of Free File Alliance member companies and may either choose one that fits their needs or use the “Help Me Find a Company” tool. After selecting a tax software company, users will be transferred to the company's website to prepare, complete and electronically file their federal income tax returns. The service is also available in Spanish.
“Free File is the one-stop shop for 70 percent of taxpayers to prepare and e-file their federal tax returns,” said Tim Hugo, executive director of the Free File Alliance. “The service is unique because it gives taxpayers access to 15 different tax software offerings so they can choose the one that works best for their tax situation. With Free File, the industry’s top software is all in one place, and it’s all free.”
