Our Pricing Promise

Free federal filing with no income limits and no hidden fees. The catch? There isn’t one — and here’s how we make money.

The price you see is the price you pay

No mid-return price changes — the $0 federal price you start with is the price you finish with.

You'll never hit a paywall

No screen asks you to upgrade. If your return needs a federal form or schedule we support, it's included free.

State is optional — and you'll know before you commit

A flat $12.99 per state, shown before you start and charged only if you choose to file a state return.

If it’s free, how do we make money?

We charge a flat $12.99 for optional state returns — less than most paid tax software charges for a state return alone. Optional services, like paying your fees from your refund, always show their price before you choose them. We never sell your personal or financial information: it’s used to file your return with the IRS and your state, and shared beyond that only as described in our privacy policy.
