With the 2025 tax season opening this month, Free File could be just what you need to get your taxes done early -- and for free.

The IRS' Free File Fillable forms, which are electronic versions of common IRS paper forms, will be accessible to all starting Jan. 27 — taxpayers who don't qualify for Free File can use the fillable forms should they feel comfortable preparing their own taxes independently.

Over the years, Free File has helped millions of taxpayers, providing a fast and simple way to file their returns."
