citation from IRS page above
&quot;As long as you qualify for the Free File federal return offer, you must not be charged for preparation and e-filing of a federal tax return&quot;
Startups and small businesses are taxpayers.
These are hard times. Many LLC small businesses are defaulting or going out of business due to covid as we speak.
Many startups didn’t receive EIN and had zero revenue or loss (450$ Delaware franchising tax?800$ CA Tax).<p>109$ via cheapest TaxAct to send zero revenue or loss to IRS or face 25000$ fine for not filling 5472 is absurd<p>IRS search shown 6 agents.<p>Do they provide free e-filling for all taxpayers with  &lt;$72k income? = startups or small business ?<p>freetaxact.com no

Apr 3, 2021, 6:30 PM Robotic Non-Response 1 from phishing@irs.gov<p>After lengthy email exchange with TaxAct I got sentences &quot;Also, the IRS FREE FILE is for individual taxpayers, not businesses.&quot; 
or  &quot;if you use the IRS Free File | Internal Revenue Service product look up tool, you will see there is no category for business taxes&quot; to which I replied 
If IRS or Free Filing Alliance actually meant that
only individual taxpayers are eligible for free federal tax filing.
They would simply clearly said so by using word “individual taxpayer” everywhere they used word “taxpayer” in sentences defining eligibility for free filing.&quot;<p>The best would be calling IRS and Free Filing Alliance by phone due to responding to emails.But mine engliish. sux.<p>Will some brave soul rise to the occasion?
