Which free tax software covers the new OBBBA deductions
Updated for the 2026 filing season
A new Schedule 1-A form applies for the 2026 filing season, covering deductions introduced under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Not every free tier necessarily supports it the same way, so it's worth checking directly if any of these apply to your return.
What Schedule 1-A covers
- No tax on tips deduction
- No tax on overtime deduction
- Car loan interest deduction
- Enhanced deduction for seniors
What to check before you start
If you're claiming any of these for the first time, confirm the provider's free tier explicitly supports Schedule 1-A before you commit to it, since a new form is exactly the kind of thing that can quietly require an upgrade on a tier that otherwise matches your situation.
Applies to seniors specifically
The enhanced senior deduction under this schedule pairs with other senior-specific filing considerations. See the seniors filing guide for the fuller picture.
