What is the Free File Alliance's commitment regarding taxpayer eligibility?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Free File Alliance agreement with the IRS requires that member companies' combined offerings make approximately 70% of taxpayers—about 100 million people—eligible for at least one free product. For 2025 taxes, the income limit is $84,000 AGI or less. However, each company sets its own narrower eligibility rules within that framework. Intuit and H&R Block both exited Free File in 2021, limiting options. Critics note this industry-controlled system serves corporate interests, unlike Direct File's government-run alternative.
