The IRS does have some free options at https://www.irs.gov/filing/free-file-do-your-federal-taxes-for-free as the article mentions, but make sure not to take the bait and switch if you go with one of the companies like TurboTax.
Aren't those all part of the Intuit lead coalition, the Free File Alliance, which kept lobbying against the IRS creating their own free tax filing tool among other issues?
Note: Intuit and H&R Block left the coalition in 2021, after a no competition from IRS rule was lifted and the IRS announced making their own free tax filing tool.
"No, you can't give this to people for free and make their life easier! Then we can't make them pay for it anymore!"
Free File Alliance, wonderful name. Like a cult sponsored group trying to catch ex cult members.
I remember when I used TaxSlayer because it was from this link...lol
