IRS Free File remains open until Nov. 17 for those who still need to file their 2021 tax returns. This includes those who qualify for the Child Tax Credit, Recovery Rebate Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit but haven't yet filed a 2021 tax return to claim them. IRS Free File is a public-private partnership between the IRS and tax preparation software industry leaders who provide their brand-name products for free. There are eight Free File products available in English and two in Spanish. IRS Free File provides two ways for taxpayers to prepare and file their 2021 federal income tax return online for free:
Always start at IRS.gov:
Taxpayers who requested the six-month filing extension should complete their tax returns and file on or before the Oct. 17 deadline. The IRS Free File program gives eligible taxpayers an opportunity to file their taxes and claim the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, their full Child Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit or other valuable credits for which they qualify. The IRS reminds taxpayers that the fastest way to get a tax refund is to file electronically and choose direct deposit. Prior year returns can only be filed electronically by registered tax preparers for the two previous tax years. Otherwise, taxpayers must print, sign and mail prior year returns. The IRS Directory of Federal Tax Return Preparers with Credentials and Select Qualifications lists qualified local preparers. Free File to stay open until Nov. 17 to help refund filers eligible for stimulus, Child Tax Credit, EITC Starting this week, the Internal Revenue Service is sending letters to more than 9 million individuals and families who appear to qualify for a variety of key tax benefits but did not claim them by filing a 2021 federal income tax return. Many in this group may be eligible to claim some or all of the 2021 Recovery Rebate Credit, the Child Tax Credit, the Earned Income Tax Credit and other tax credits depending on their personal and family situation. The special reminder letters, which will be arriving in mailboxes over the next few weeks, are being sent to people who appear to qualify for the Child Tax Credit, Recovery Rebate Credit or Earned Income Tax Credit but haven't yet filed a 2021 return to claim them. The letter, printed in both English and Spanish, provides a brief overview of each of these three credits. These and other tax benefits were expanded under last year's American Rescue Plan Act and other recent legislation. Even so, the only way to get the valuable benefits is to file a 2021 tax return. People can file a tax return even if they haven't yet received their letter. The IRS reminds people that there's no penalty for a refund claimed on a tax return filed after the regular April 2022 tax deadline. The fastest and easiest way to get a refund is to file an accurate return electronically and choose direct deposit. To help people claim these benefits, without charge, Free File will remain open for an extra month this year, until Nov. 17, 2022. Available only at IRS.gov/FreeFile, Free File enables people whose incomes are $73,000 or less to file a return online for free using brand-name software. Free File is sponsored by the Free File Alliance, a partnership between the IRS and the tax-software industry.
