Tax Day Deals: File Your Taxes for Free
Tax Day Deals: You Can Still File Your Taxes for Free
As the deadline to file taxes approaches, the IRS anticipates that more than 140 million individuals will meet the April 15 deadline. However, there’s no need to panic if you require extra time—extensions can be requested. Be aware that certain states and counties may provide automatic filing extensions due to recent natural disasters.
While enjoying these delightful deals can improve your Tax Day experience, it’s also important to keep an eye out for potential tax breaks on your return. Understanding family tax breaks for dependents and children or deductions for student loans and property taxes can help maximize your refund.
Additionally, if you’re looking for savings on tax preparation, the IRS Free File tool is available for those with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of $84,000 or less for the 2024 filing season. IRS Direct File is also accessible in 25 states, with over 30 million taxpayers qualified for the program. Numerous other free filing options exist through partnerships with the IRS.
