Compare IRS Free File offers

Start on the IRS website to access participating providers’ offers. Federal eligibility varies by offer; state filing may cost extra. Choose an offer that covers your state for free when available.

You will leave Unitax and use the provider’s website and account. These are independent resources, not an announced Unitax partnership. Unitax does not receive your return, documents, or filing status through these links. Confirm a $0 federal and state price before submitting; free filing does not mean no tax is owed.

GET READY

Gather what applies to you.

Use this checklist privately. Keep the actual documents with you and enter sensitive information only on your chosen filing provider’s secure website.

Before you press submit

  1. Confirm the tax year, eligibility, required forms, and free state coverage.
  2. Enter your information with the provider and review names, income, dependents, and bank details.
  3. Save your return and check the provider’s federal and state acceptance notices. Submission alone is not acceptance.
