WARNING! Hard to FIle Free State Return WARNING!! If you want to file the FREE STATE TAX you have to start out on the State website and use their link to the FreeTaxUSA website. Otherwise you have to pay for the state return. SO stupid. Once we did that is made us go through the whole process AGAIN with the fed return and then because we had already efiled that the only way to get the free State return was submit it FOR MAIL IN!! I was so angry. My grandaughter only has a part time job - it should not be this hard to file her taxes.

NOT FREE Saw on the state website they were free so I went to their website. NOT FREE. You have to have come from the state website or it’s $14.99 even though it says FREE on the state website

Used this website for two years and it worked perfectly! I used freetaxusa.com to electronically file my federal and state of Illinois income taxes for 2022 and 2023. It worked extremely well and both returns were filed at no cost to me. The online program allowed me to edit information I had forgotten to enter, which saved me from having to start over. This free version takes you directly to your state tax screen once your federal forms are completed. They sent me a text, within 15 minutes of filing my federal return, to let me know the IRS accepted my 1040 return. It was pretty easy since I had my 1099 forms in front of me for the federal return, and my property tax form available to provide the amount I paid and the property number for the state return. I only had to answer a few more questions to "sign" the forms. It took me about two hours to complete everything, given that I am old, cautious, and slow completing online forms. They even gave me the option of editing the forms after they had accepted them. I haven't tried any other free filing programs and I won't, since this program worked perfectly. I highly recommend using this website to file your federal tax return at no cost. Once that's filed, they will tell you whether they will also file your state form for free, as they did for me.

I used the site for years but be… I used the site for years but be careful if you relocate, the site becomes more complicated to use. They will save your previous state and you must delete it BEFORE filing or you will be charged for the filing of BOTH states (your new and old one) and no you can't delete it through an amendment. Who knows could cost a huge refund from your new state, i think its wrong that they refused to refund me, I think this is my last year using the site.

Worrying about security issues! I have no problems with FreeTaxUSA EXCEPT I can't find a way to talk to someone about a message I keep getting. "Already Signed In We noticed you were already logged in to this account elsewhere, so we safely signed you out. Please sign back in to your account now." I am not already logged in elsewhere!! Who else is logged into my account when I am logged in? I'm really concerned about security issues and can't find a way to talk to someone unless I pay for Pro Support. HELP!
