    I think if you have to file state taxes there is sometimes a small fee, but it’s incredibly minimal. For federal taxes it is 100% completely and totally free and I use it each year.

      Something people don’t tell you is you can file federal and state taxes at completely different places (they’re 100% separate anyway so it really doesn’t matter). I did this one year using freetaxusa for federal, and some other tax software that did state for free but charged for federal.

      This next year though I’m hiring a CPA because my shit has become complicated.
