If your 2021 income is more than $73,000, you are not eligible to use Free File software to prepare and e-file your state return. However, other approved commercial software may have free options to prepare and e-file your basic federal and state income tax returns.
Use an approved software provider to prepare and e-file your federal and state return together. The software you choose may include a free option; please read the eligibility requirements before you get started.
See E-file-approved commercial software for a list of software providers you can use.
Note: Some software is available in Spanish. Look for Disponible en español after the product name.
