Joe Biden did these things already, plus the IRS freefile. It was awesome!

Nobody noticed.
Project 2025 promised a right-wing revolution in American government.

Democrats’ Project 2029 promises to ... take on the “annoyance economy” and cut down on surprise fees and impossible cancellations.

From me:

Opinion | Project 2029 sure doesn’t look like an answer to Project 2025
A Democratic group is displaying a puzzling lack of ambition for the party’s policy vision.

IRS Free File has been solid and served many more people than expected.

Hey do we know if IRS FreeFile was cancelled?

Remember that you can file your taxes for free using the IRS FreeFile program (irs.gov/freefile). If you have an AGI of less than $89k you have several options for free tax prep software, plus free state returns for some states.

What about people who have already used FreeFile to do their 2024 tax return?

If you want to verify who is an IRS Free File Alliance partner, all 8 of them (including FreeTaxUSA) are listed here along with the requirements for using each one.

Intuit used to be one of the partners but kept trying to trick people into using a paid version.

Don't use those fuckasses at Turbotax. This shit is free and pretty fast! With multiple options! I used 1040 this year.

If you don't got complex tax situations, don't go paying like you do.

reminder that if you are a freelancer and have a 1099-K/MISC instead of a W-2 and need to fill a schedule C some websites might charge you extra but freetaxusa is in freefile and has not done me wrong once in 4 years

If anyone wants a rec on free tax filing software to get away from turbo tax, I recommend freetaxusa! They're one of the trusted partners of the IRS, and they do filing for freelancers.
Really nice UI/UX as well which is super important!

You can see the other ones here: apps.irs.gov/app/freeFile...

Recently overheard a teen ranting about the Intuit ads YouTube was serving them - complaining that they were behind killing the freefile. The kids are alright.

fyi if you start from the IRS Freefile website, you can usually pay no more than $10 to file even if you don't qualify for a freefile service. i do my own on OLT via Freefile every year

So deeply upset that they got rid of FreeFile
January 16, 2026 at 8:46 PM
Never use H&R Block or TurboTax. They're a scam & waste of money. While they did kill DirectFile there are a few free options out there. FreeFile through the IRS's website, Free File Alliance, & FreeTaxUSA are online. You can also check VITA for in-person income based filing assistance.

As the artist that is also an accountant, with the depraved mammal targeting the IRS, and laying off workers and putting a freeze on hiring new hires, I extremely recommend filing your taxes ASAP

Highly recommend FreeTaxUSA despite its weird name

I used FreeFile this year! It was not only free but more streamlined than any paid tax service I've used.
🚨NEWS: Trump’s move to shut down the IRS’s popular free tax filing system followed TurboTax delivering $1 million to his inauguration.

TurboTax’s corporate documents say the program threatens their profits.

The IRS announced that Free File will begin accepting individual tax returns on Jan. 10, 2025.
*THIS IS NOT THE START DATE FOR THE SEASON.*
Free File traditionally opens early and allows taxpayers to prepare & file now—they'll be processed when the season opens.
