They have had a list of websites that will file at least federal taxes for free. Some have free state returns as well, however, your Adjusted Gross Income must be less than $79,000.

Never, ever trust the IRS list of "free" file sites. The IRS has a long history of posting fake "free" filing links. They were accepting bribes to keep Intuit's fake free sites listed for over a decade. The IRS list should never, ever be trusted.
FreeTaxUSA.com is the only trustworthy free-filing site I am aware of. For more complex filing, they have some (low) fees, but they are very transparent about all of that. Plus, they are easier to use than Intuit/TurboTax.
FreeTaxUSA is one of the sites listed.
I've also used Tax Hawk for a few years and it's been free.
I wasn't aware that their site was promoting Intuit software.
