    free fillable forms has always been free. its just online pdfs for the physical forms and the irs has been offering them for awhile. I have not used a physical in awhile. My point was if they can’t pull the forms with the data its not really more useful than the current free fillable forms option.

      think of it as TurboTax free file made by the government and that’s it lol theyre a bit more than just PDFs online. theyve specifically said they’re making another option on the market alongside existing products. but they’re specifically NOT undercutting other existing technology.

        yeah the only way I can see it being better since the irs already offered the free fillable forms is if it would autopopulate known forms like a w2 or 1099 (or is that 1098. I only know these things for like 3 months a year)
