THE IRS WILL LET YOU FILE YOUR TAX RETURN FOR FREE. BILL BRUNSON WITH THE IRS IN NEW MEXICO TELLS US IT’S BEEN THE CASE SINCE 2003. HE TELLS US THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO FILE: EITHER TRADITIONAL OR FILLABLE FORMS. THE TRADITIONAL METHOD, WHICH REQUIRES YOU TO HAVE EARNED 64-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR OR LESS ALLOWS YOU TO CHOOSE FROM 12 DIFFERENT SOFTWARE PROVIDERS, LISTED ON THE AGENCIES WEB SITE. YOU MUST EARN 64-THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR OR LESS TO USE THIS FILE FORM.
BRUNSON SAYS FILLABLE FORMS ALLOW YOU TO SUBMIT YOUR RETURN ELECTRONICALLY, NO MATTER WHAT YOUR ANNUAL SALARY IS. FREE FILE ALSO DOES ALL THE MATH ON YOUR RETURN.
TO ACCESS THE SERVICE, GO TO WWW.IRS.GOV … CLICK ON THE “FREE FILE” ICON … THEN USE FREE FILE TO ELECTRONICALLY SUBMIT YOUR 2016 FEDERAL INCOME TAX RETURN.
