Preface by saying, I still do hard copy paper forms obtained from the IRS by mail, (not printed out by me) and filed via USPS, no efile. Having researched it many times, I don't qualify for free file from any service nor free efile. I'm old school and I do it my way and don't believe in paying anything extra (beyond stamp(s)) to file taxes. I view it as a tax on a tax. "Imo", if IRS wants me to file via computer software and/or with efile, it should be free for all. Been doing paper forms all my life which is many decades and includes sometimes itemization. Off my soap box.
All that said, if I was to file using a software program (if free let's say) it would definitely not be TT. I say this because after reading ProPublica articles about TT, they would never be my choice. Linked is the most article about TT with several links to the referenced PP articles. If you're interested in reading about TT "free" deception, it's worth the read imo. Seems the IRS might have caught on to TT.
