There are free options for federal taxes: turbotaxsucksass.org (yes that is the real URL, the site was initially created by John Oliver for a Last Week Tonight episode).
What state are you in? Many also offer free options for state taxes.

I mean, they don’t give you that option if you need anything more than the most basic stuff. I used it for a long time and qualified for the free one, but the second I needed one extra form for something to do with school, they wanted like $50. And of course they wait until the end to reveal that so you’ve already done all the work.

Depends on what goes into your taxes. Turbotax forces fees on you if you need certain forms. An actual free federal tax service is something like Free Tax USA which simply has an optional state filing for $15.

Depends on your income. Those making poverty level wages don’t pay, while other folks pay out the ass.
