Tax Year 2023 Free File Offers
Last year more than 90% of Kentucky resident taxpayers e-filed their individual income tax returns. Many were able to file for free using one of the Free File Offers. You may qualify to file your federal and Kentucky individual income tax returns for free depending on your income level. In some offers you may be required to file your state return at the same time you are filing your federal return.
The software companies are listed in no certain order. DOR does not endorse any specific tax filing product. Each software company is responsible for the accuracy of the software program's instructions and the program calculations, not DOR. However, we have verified that all software packages will produce a return which contains the required data fields. The Kentucky Department of Revenue does not offer technical assistance for these software products. You should contact the tax software's customer service department if you have issues using the software product you choose to use.
The official start date for electronic filing of tax year 2023 federal and Kentucky returns is January 23, 2024.
