Is it just me, I cannot find where to free file on the IRS Site!

Plenty of information links but I am damned if I can find a link to an actual place where I can select a partner and file. The IRS website keeps returning me to the same page.

It thought it was supposed to be up yesterday. I could be incorrect.

Looks like it's not open yet. The web site says, "Open in January 2021." It opened last year on January 10, so perhaps it's set to open soon? Also, the free file alliance website still says to "check back in January."

I saw somewhere that the IRS will start accepting e-filed returns on January 25. It may be that the free file sites won't open until then?

I've been using OLT for several years and like it, here's the link to their freefile page. https://www.olt.com/main/OLTFREE/default.asp

I used TaxHawk last year, it is free, and I intend to use it again this year.

Is there an income limit to use free software for tax filling?

If you go through the IRS Free File program, it's $72K. CreditKarma is free at any income level, but they do mine your data and target ads at you.

FreeTaxUSA https://www.freetaxusa.com/ has been open and accepting your information for a while. I think you can file currently and then the IRS will start to accept returns later in the month.

I found this one when IRS Free File started and have used it since then. Works well for us but we have fairly simple returns.

IRS Free File is now officially open.
