- Taxpayers, including those serving on active duty in the armed forces, must meet the income-based eligibility criteria that are announced at the beginning of each tax season.
- At least 50 percent of taxpayers meet the eligibility requirements.

- TurboTax Freedom Edition is offered as part of the Free File Alliance, a public-private partnership between the IRS, and tax preparation software developers such as Intuit.
