"FTC Cracks Down on TurboTax's Deceptive 'Free' Tax Services"
TL;DR Summary
The FTC has found that TurboTax's advertising of free services was deceptive, prompting many to seek free tax help options. IRS Free File offers guidance for those with an annual gross income of $79,000 or less, while Free File Fillable Forms are available for those making more, but without assistance. Miltax provides free tax software and help to servicemembers and veterans, and the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program aids those with lower incomes, disabilities, or language barriers. Additionally, some tax software providers offer free tiers for simpler returns, including H&R Block, TurboTax, TaxAct, and TaxSlayer.
