Our story
In 2001, a CPA and a software developer sat at a kitchen table, determined to make tax filing fast, easy and affordable.
That dream has grown into FreeTaxUSA. We support hundreds of forms and every year we file millions of tax returns to the IRS.
We’re not stopping here. Our mission is to make high-quality, reasonably priced tax filing available for everyone.
What people love about us
Upfront, affordable pricing
It's simple, federal filing is free and state returns are $15.99 for everyone.
Easy-peasy importing
Users can import 1099s, W-2s, and prior year returns filed with another service.
Account carryover
We automatically pull over our users’ information from last year to this year.
