Do You Qualify to Have Your Taxes Done for Free?

By
Real Estate Agent with Brand Name Real Estate

Do you qualify to have your 2009 Federal taxes done for free?  If you are active military or made less than $31,000 last year, then the answer is YES!TurboTax

TurboTax is offering to prepare your 2009 federal taxes online and then efile them for you.  They are calling it the Intuit Tax Freedom Project.  And all at no cost to you.

This "Freedom Edition" of the TurboTax software is only available online.  And you have to qualify.  You have to have made $31,000 or less AIG (Adjusted Gross Income), be an active member of any branch of the military, or you qualify for the Earned Income Credit and your AGI must be between $13,440 and $43,279. 

I'm pretty sure that this will include lots and lots of Americans this year.  But what a great opportunity to have your federal taxes done for free!

In addition, twenty states have also created Free File Programs based upon the federal Free File Alliance model.  Intuit is proud to offer free state tax efiling in these states if you qualify: AL, AR, AZ, GA, IA, ID, KY, MI, MN, MO, MS, NY, NC, ND, OK, OR, RI, SC, VT, WV.

The commercial I just watched on television about an hour ago didn't say anything about having to qualify. There also is a "Free Edition" of turbotax online for 1040EZ and simple returns.

Great to see TurboTax taking steps to help our military and those who had a rough 2009, which may include a lot of people who lost their jobs. Thanks for the info!
