FREE Tax Filing using TurboTax for Americans with Limited Income

TurboTax Freedom Edition 2009

File your taxes for FREE if you met certain income restrictions


The Free File Alliance (FFA) is a partnership between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and tax software companies. This alliance provides qualifying taxpayers FREE use of participating commercial tax preparation products, including Intuit's TurboTax Freedom Edition 2009.

There is no cost to the government to deliver these free services to hard-working Americans.
Although Intuit has participated in the FFA since its inception in October 2002, Intuit has been providing free tax preparation to millions of lower-income taxpayers via the Intuit Tax Freedom Project, created in 1998.
