@jeromechoo@masto.ai if you click the link from https://apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile/browse-all-offers/ and are under a certain income threshold state filing is free also
@leo nice find!!

PSA: directfile.irs.gov is dead. Not even a "we're closed" message with alternatives. Instead of going back to Turbotax or H&R Block, use freetaxusa.com. Ridiculous name, legitimate business. Federal filing is free. State is $16. Happily using it for the last 5 years. No referral code, just spreading the word.
@jeromechoo I'll second that recommendation. Used TurboTax for years grudgingly, then H&R for a couple, and FreeTaxUSA for the most recent 4 or 5 with bacially no complaints.
I do think some of their info/help text for certain sections used to be pretty sparse, but I've def noticed it be improved in the past year or two.

@jeromechoo Do you know how they make money? Or even keep the lights on?
@Byte @jeromechoo They charge a fee to file state income taxes.

Recommend also 1040.com
Don't recommend FileYourTaxes.com, as they couldn't deal with my name change.

@gcobbum @jeromechoo Seconded. Used them last year and it was a breeze.

@jeromechoo I used FreeTaxUSA for about three years and loved it. Then they asked me to consent to letting them train an LLM on my tax forms. So much for that.
