The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is reminding taxpayers who missed the April 15 deadline that they can still file their 2025 federal tax returns at no cost using IRS Free File. This service remains available until October 15, providing an opportunity for eligible individuals to claim valuable tax credits and refunds.
IRS Chief Executive Officer Frank J. Bisignano said, "IRS Free File makes it easy for taxpayers to meet their filing obligations and claim valuable tax credits at no cost." He added that tools like IRS Free File help provide a secure, convenient, and reliable filing experience as the agency transforms into a digital-first entity.
Taxpayers with an adjusted gross income of $89,000 or less can access guided tax preparation software through trusted partners, often including free state tax return filing. Those exceeding this income threshold can utilize Free File Fillable Forms. The program offers step-by-step guidance, built-in error checks, and facilitates faster refunds through electronic filing and direct deposit.
