How can I file taxes for free 2021

[Critter-3]

You are too late to use online TurboTax for a 2021 tax return.   The only way to use TurboTax now for 2021 is to purchase the CD/download and use it on a full PC or Mac.   You cannot use it on a mobile device of any sort.  And the return cannot be e-filed; it can only be filed by mail now.   You have to print it, sign it in ink and mail it in.

Or you might still be able to use the software on the IRS Free File site.

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