Yes — Cash App Taxes is genuinely free for both federal and state returns. There is no paid tier, no upsell to a premium version, and no fee to file. The trade-off is that it requires a Cash App account and covers a narrower range of tax situations than TurboTax or H&R Block. The business model is user acquisition for the broader Cash App platform, not revenue from tax filing. Verify current supported forms at the Cash App Taxes page before starting your return.
Cash App Taxes supports most common individual filer scenarios: W-2 income, investment income (1099-DIV, 1099-INT, 1099-B), self-employment income (Schedule C), rental income (Schedule E), student loan interest, education credits, homeownership deductions, and retirement contributions. It generally does not support foreign income, certain trust and estate returns, or multi-state pass-through entity filings. Verify your specific forms at the Cash App Taxes supported-forms page before starting.
Cash App Taxes files state returns at no cost alongside the federal return. Most states are supported. Multi-state filers (who earned income in more than one state) should verify that both states are supported before relying on Cash App Taxes for their full filing. If you live in a state with no income tax, only a federal return is required.
