Who Qualifies for TurboTax Free Filing?

Not everyone qualifies for TurboTax Free Edition, but if you have a simple tax return, you may be eligible. About 37% of filers can file for free, including those with:

• W-2 income with a basic Form 1040 return.
• Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), Child Tax Credit (CTC), or student loan interest deductions.
• No additional schedules or self-employment income.

If your return is more complex—such as including investment income, rental properties, or freelance/side gig work—you may need to upgrade to a paid TurboTax plan.

For a limited time, TurboTax is also offering free filing through its mobile app for new users. If you didn’t use TurboTax last year and file by February 18, 2025, you can file for free even if your return is complex.

Why Use TurboTax Free Edition?

TurboTax has helped over 130 million people file their taxes for free. Here’s why it remains a top choice for taxpayers:

• Quick & Easy Setup – Returning users can import last year’s tax info with one click, saving time.
• Simple W-2 Filing – Just snap a photo of your W-2, and TurboTax will autofill the details.
• Step-by-Step Guidance – TurboTax walks you through the process to ensure accuracy and maximum deductions.
• CompleteCheck™ Accuracy Scan – Before you file, TurboTax checks your return to ensure it’s 100% accurate.
• Mobile Filing Available – Start on one device and continue on another, or file entirely from your phone.

Big life changes like getting a new job, having a baby, or buying a house can affect your taxes. TurboTax helps you navigate these situations and find every deduction available.
