FreeTaxUSA Promo Codes — 50% Off

Yes. Federal tax returns are always $0 at FreeTaxUSA, regardless of your filing situation. This includes self-employment income, itemized deductions, investment income, rental property, dependents, and joint filing. There are no hidden tiers that charge for complex federal forms — every supported federal form is included at no cost.

A current-year state return costs $15.99. Prior year state returns (for tax years 2018–2024) are $17.99 each. State returns automatically pull in data from your completed federal return, and e-file with direct deposit is included in the price.

Deluxe Support costs $7.99 and includes live chat with tax specialists, priority support, and unlimited amended returns. Since a standalone amended return (Form 1040-X) costs $16.98, Deluxe Support saves you money the first time you need to make any correction to your filing.

Yes, FreeTaxUSA offers two key guarantees.

• 100% Calculation Accuracy Guarantee: If a software calculation error causes IRS or state penalties or interest, FreeTaxUSA reimburses those costs.
• Maximum Refund Guarantee: If another tax software produces a larger refund or smaller liability using identical data, FreeTaxUSA refunds your purchase and provides a service code for a free amended return.

Yes. Filing Form 4868 through FreeTaxUSA is completely free and extends your federal filing deadline by six months. Note that any taxes owed are still due by the original April deadline — the extension applies to filing only, not to payment. You can pay taxes owed via free direct debit from your bank account.

Audit Defense costs $19.99 and provides representation by a team of CPAs and Enrolled Agents if the IRS or your state audits your return. Coverage includes up to $1 million in services and applies to both federal and state audits. It can be added during checkout before you submit your return.

Pay upfront with a card or digital wallet — this costs $0 in processing fees. Choosing to deduct fees from your federal refund instead adds a $24.99 convenience charge, which is easy to avoid by paying at checkout.

Yes. FreeTaxUSA supports federal and state returns for tax years 2018 through 2024. Prior year federal returns are $0. Prior year state returns are $17.99 per year. You can also import prior year return data from other tax software platforms to save time on data entry.
