Or—-Use this IRS site for other ways to file for free. There are 8 free software versions available from the IRS Free File site

You cannot report unemployment benefits in TurboTax Free Edition. If you use TurboTax, you would have to use one of the paid editions.

You might be able to file for free with IRS Free File or IRS Direct File.
