Free online tax filing?

Hi all, just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for filing taxes online for free?

I tried TaxAct and when I get to the part that adds the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, it charges. I've also tried TurboTax, but am not able to proceed when it asks for my spouse's SSN (which he doesn't have as he's British).

I fall under the tax exemption, so won't need to pay — just hoping I can find an easy free way to file if possible.

If your worldwide income was indeed below $4,050 (the filing threshold) you are not required to file a US income tax return at all.

If your worldwide income was indeed below $4,050 (the filing threshold) you are not required to file a US income tax return at all.

guya, wouldn't Head of household ($13,350 filing threshold) also be a possibility if drh pays for over half the cost of keeping up a home and has a dependent(s)?

I did mine today actually.  I used H&R Block online, just the free service (I had to pay $30 for filing state, because I didn't move to the UK til this year).  I left my husband's SSN space blank and then it asks you why there is no SSN--Non Resident Alien is one of the choices.  And then it wasn't a problem, once I had chosen that!

Do you have you file state taxes if you've lived in the UK for five years? I still have a drivers license and bank account in the US but no other assets. It's not clear if I need to file state taxes though.

I just tried H&R block and when I try to add the Foreign Earned Income form it wants to charge me $55. Any suggestions of tax filing I can use with this form that doesn't charge? I have been able to in the past on Tax Act and TurboTax but they seem to have changed it.

This is by far the clearest and most thorough article I have ever seen on State taxation:
