There is a limited FREE program however not everyone qualified to use it so the ads were not false just not fully transparent. If you want to file for free use one of the IRS FREE FILE options again only if you qualify ... for 2021 your AGI had to be $73K or less ...

Turbo Tax still has a Free Edition for very simple returns. But they are no longer participating in the IRS Free File website.

Start a Turbo Tax return here,

Or find another free offer at IRS Free File

Are you asking about this?

The settlement agreement covers users who used TurboTax in 2016, 2017 or 2018. If you are one of the affected users you will receive about $30 for each of those years in which your income was $34,000 or less and in which you started in the Free Edition and were upgraded to a paid version of the software.

"Covered Consumer" means any individual, or individuals if a joint return was filed, who in Tax Years 2016, 2017, or 2018 was (1) eligible to use an Intuit IRS Free File Product; (2) began his or her tax returns using a TurboTax Free Edition Product; (3) was informed that he or she was ineligible to use a TurboTax Free Edition Product; (4) subsequently paid to use a TurboTax Paid Product, and (5) had not used the Intuit IRS Free File Product in a previous tax year.

You do not have to “sign up” or get on a list. The payments will be sent out automatically to the affected users. We do not know yet how soon the payments will be sent.
