Recordatorio del IRS: contribuyentes con prórrogas pueden usar Free File del IRS este verano

WASHINGTON — El Servicio de Impuestos Internos (IRS) alentó hoy a los contribuyentes que solicitaron una prórroga para presentar su declaración de impuestos federales de 2025 a hacerlo lo antes posible, en lugar de esperar hasta la fecha límite del 15 de octubre. 

Free File del IRS permanecerá disponible hasta el 15 de octubre de 2026 y ofrece preparación de impuestos guiada y gratuita para los contribuyentes con un ingreso bruto ajustado de $89,000 o menos en 2025. Los contribuyentes pueden preparar y presentar electrónicamente sus declaraciones federales de manera segura con los socios de confianza del IRS, sin costo alguno. Los contribuyentes con ingresos que superen ese límite pueden usar los Formularios interactivos de Free File si se sienten cómodos preparando sus propias declaraciones de impuestos. 

Presentar durante el verano ayuda a los contribuyentes a evitar la temporada alta del otoño y les da más tiempo para resolver problemas o hacer arreglos de pago, si es necesario. Una prórroga les da a los contribuyentes más tiempo para presentar, pero no más tiempo para pagar. Los contribuyentes que adeudan impuestos deben pagar lo más que puedan lo antes posible para limitar las multas e intereses. 

Free File del IRS proporciona una manera segura y conveniente de presentar los impuestos desde casa. El software guiado incluye instrucciones paso a paso y verificaciones de errores integradas, y algunos socios de confianza también ofrecen preparación y presentación gratuita de declaraciones de impuestos estatales para los contribuyentes elegibles. 

Los contribuyentes a quienes les corresponde un reembolso pueden recibirlo más rápido si presentan electrónicamente y eligen el depósito directo. 

Para comenzar, visite Free File del IRS: Haga sus impuestos gratuitamente en IRS.gov.

IRS reminder: Extension filers can use IRS Free File this summer

IR-2026-101, Aug. 26, 2026

WASHINGTON — The Internal Revenue Service today encouraged taxpayers who requested an extension to file their 2025 federal tax return as soon as possible, rather than waiting until the Oct. 15 deadline.  

IRS Free File remains available through Oct. 15, 2026, and offers free guided tax preparation for taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of $89,000 or less in 2025. Taxpayers can prepare and e-file federal returns securely with IRS trusted partners at no cost. Taxpayers with income above the threshold can use Free File Fillable Forms if they are comfortable preparing their own tax returns.

Filing over the summer helps taxpayers avoid the fall rush and gives them more time to resolve issues or arrange payments, if needed. An extension gives taxpayers more time to file but not more time to pay. Taxpayers who owe tax should pay as much as they can as soon as possible to limit penalties and interest.

IRS Free File provides a secure, convenient way to file from home. The guided software includes step-by-step instructions and built-in error checks, and some trusted partners also offer free state tax return preparation and filing for eligible taxpayers.

Taxpayers who are due a refund can get their refund faster by filing electronically and choosing direct deposit.

To get started, visit IRS Free File: Do Your Taxes For Free on IRS.gov.

Tax transcripts: Know the different types and how to get them

Taxpayers may need to access their tax records or transcripts for many different reasons. It could be needed for filing a tax return, applying for a mortgage or loan, to name a couple of reasons.

There are several different kinds of tax transcripts available to taxpayers for free. Here’s what’s available, what they are and how they can be obtained.

What are the different transcript types?

  • Tax return transcripts show most line items from the taxpayer’s original Form 1040-series tax return, along with any forms and schedules, but doesn't show any changes made after the original return was filed. It’s available for the current and three prior tax years and is often used for life events such as mortgages or financial aid.
  • Tax account transcripts show basic information such as filing status, taxable income, and payment types. Unlike the tax return transcripts, this one will show changes made after the original return was filed and is generally available for the current and nine prior tax years.
  • Record of account transcripts combine the tax return and tax account transcripts above into one complete transcript. This transcript is available for the current and three prior tax years.
  • Wage and income transcripts show data from information returns we receive such as Forms W-2, 1098, 1099, and 5498. The transcript will only display information return documents that have been filed with the IRS which may not reflect all the information return documents issued to the taxpayer. This transcript is available for the current and nine prior tax years.
  • Verification of non-filing letter states the IRS has no record of a processed Form 1040-series tax return as of the date of the request. It doesn't indicate whether the taxpayer was required to file a return for that year. This letter is available after June 15 for the current tax year or anytime for the prior three tax years.

Ways to get transcripts

A transcript isn't a photocopy of a taxpayer’s actual return. If a copy of the original return is needed, they can submit Form 4506, Request for Copy of Tax Return. Refer to the form for the processing time and fee.
