Rep. Lesch Urges Constituents Use Free Online Tax Preparation & Filing
Taxpayers Making $58,000 or Less Can Visit IRS.gov to Prepare and E-File Federal Tax Returns through Landmark Partnership between IRS & Tax Software Providers
Saint Paul, Minnesota – State Rep. John Lesch encouraged constituents to take advantage of free tax preparation services available through the IRS Free File program. Since its inception in 2003, IRS Free File has offered low-to-moderate income taxpayers free access to leading commercial tax preparation software. This year, every taxpayer with a 2010 Adjusted Gross Income of $58,000 or less may visit www.IRS.gov/efile to prepare, complete and e-file their federal tax returns at no cost.
“The only things certain about this time of year are cold weather and filing taxes," said Lesch. “I can’t help with the weather, but you may be able to save some time and money by taking advantage of this program.”
To begin, taxpayers may visit the IRS website, www.IRS.gov, and click on the “Free File” icon. Users will find a list of Free File Alliance member companies and may either choose the one that fits their needs or utilize the “help me find a company” tool. After selecting a company, taxpayers will be transferred to the company's website to prepare, complete and electronically file their federal income tax returns. Three of the 19 participating software companies also offer services in Spanish.
