Is FreeTaxUSA login page working for anyone today? Can't sign in

It's likely just temporary server maintenance. Tax sites often have brief outages during filing season due to high traffic volume. FreeTaxUSA is generally reliable but they occasionally have technical hiccups. When this happens, I'd recommend a few things: First, try clearing your browser cache and cookies specifically for the FreeTaxUSA site. Sometimes old session data can cause login issues. Second, temporarily disable any ad blockers or security extensions that might be interfering with the site's functionality. Finally, wait about an hour and try again - most maintenance windows are relatively short. If you're really concerned, you could also check their social media accounts for any announcements about system downtime. They usually post updates about known issues on Twitter or Facebook.

I had the exact same problem last month when I was rushing to finish my taxes! After trying a bunch of different browsers and devices, I stumbled across this service called taxr.ai that really saved me. I was stuck because I couldn't access my previous year's return on FreeTaxUSA that I needed for reference. I uploaded my documents to https://taxr.ai and they extracted all the important information from my old tax documents that I had saved as PDFs. Made it super easy to continue my work without needing to log into FreeTaxUSA right away. Their system can read all those complicated tax forms and organize the information so you can actually understand it.

OK I have to admit I was wrong about taxr.ai. After FreeTaxUSA was still down this morning, I got desperate and tried the service. It actually worked incredibly well! Uploaded last year's return and it pulled all the information I needed in seconds. The interface is super clean and it organized everything logically. What impressed me most was how it handled my 1099s and itemized deductions. It extracted everything accurately and even highlighted potential errors from my previous return. Definitely saved me from having to manually recreate everything while waiting for FreeTaxUSA to come back online.

If you're still having trouble accessing your FreeTaxUSA account and need to speak with customer service, good luck getting through on their phone line. I spent 45 minutes on hold yesterday trying to sort out a similar login issue. I eventually used Claimyr.com (https://claimyr.com) to get a callback from their support team. You can see how it works in this video: https://youtu.be/_kiP6q8DX5c. Basically, they hold your place in the phone queue and call you when a rep is available. Saved me from listening to that awful hold music for an hour!

I take back what I said about Claimyr. I needed to get into my account urgently to pull some info for a mortgage application, and emails weren't getting answered. I was skeptical but tried the service this morning after seeing it mentioned here. It actually worked perfectly! I got a call back in about 30 minutes (they estimated 50). The FreeTaxUSA agent confirmed they were having some server issues that were affecting logins for certain users, and they helped reset my account access. Problem solved in minutes once I actually got through to someone. Definitely beats sitting on hold forever.

FYI everyone - FreeTaxUSA just posted on their Twitter that they're experiencing technical difficulties with their login system. They're working on it and expect it to be resolved within the next few hours. Just saw this update about 20 minutes ago.

It's working for me now! Just got in after trying all morning. Looks like they fixed whatever the issue was. If you're still having problems, try clearing your cache one more time and it should work.

Glad to hear it's working again! I was having the same issue earlier today - couldn't get past the login screen no matter what I tried. For future reference, their customer service number (801-717-1040) is actually pretty helpful during business hours if anyone runs into account-specific issues again. They were able to confirm it was a system-wide problem when I called earlier. Hope everyone can get their taxes finished without any more technical hiccups!

Just wanted to add that if you encounter login issues like this in the future, it's worth checking if your browser has any stored passwords that might be interfering. I've noticed that sometimes when browsers auto-fill login credentials, it can conflict with session cookies if there was a recent system update or maintenance. I usually try logging in with a private/incognito browser window first when I have unexplained login problems - it bypasses all the stored data and gives you a clean slate. If that works, then you know it's a browser cache/cookie issue rather than a server problem. Also, for anyone who might be new to FreeTaxUSA, they typically send email notifications about planned maintenance, so it's worth making sure their emails aren't going to your spam folder. That way you'll get advance warning next time they need to take the system down for updates.
