Hillsborough County Extension is offering access to free online tax software. The software is available to residents whose Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) on the tax return doesn’t exceed $84,000.
AGI does not include items like tax-deductible contributions to retirement plans or Health Savings Accounts (HSA).
The free software can be used for 2024 tax returns. That is the return due April 15, 2025. This robust tax software is programmed to handle different types of income. It also features a guide to help with tax credits and deductions. You can choose to file electronically (recommended) or print and mail.
Once you complete a short form at https://go.ufl.edu/taxfree and provide name, email, and zip code, you will be instantly emailed a link to the free software.
If AGI exceeds $84,000 IRS Direct File may be an option.
If you would like to schedule an appointment for a 1-1 tax prep education session via web conference or telephone, contact Lisa at lmleslie@ufl.edu or 813-744-5519 ext.54143. During a scheduled meeting, you can get a free tax software demonstration and/or answers to your tax questions.
